  • 21st Century Teens: Literacy in a Digital World.

    Friday, June 27th, 8:00am - 4:00pm.

    This program will address print literacy through an examination of resources such as the Common Core standards and their implication for the work of librarians and library workers serving teens as well as the multiple aspects of the teen digital experience. Using expert speakers, popular authors, and interaction with other participants, attendees will explore a range of topics, including: new methods of collaboration between libraries and schools, after school groups and other educational organizations; how to engage reluctant readers and improve service delivery to under-served populations; the impact of content creation, privacy, cyberbullying, and digital relationships will be considered in terms of library services. Relevant YA literature will be used as a prompt for discussion. All attendees will receive 8 hours' worth of continuing education credits.
