Why focus on teens in your library?
- Teens are a big chunk of the U.S. population, with over 40 million 12-17 year olds.
- Library services and resources for teens are regularly in jeopardy
- The demographic of teens has changed dramatically and include more teens of color, more teens from immigrant families, as well as more LGBTQ.
- Technology continues to change the way we communicate, teach, and learn.
- Teens are entering the workforce without critical skills.
