Connecting with Teens Using Social Media Teens today are coming to the library in full force with their laptops and netbooks. They're texting, tweeting, and using Facebook. They're diving into a world full of social networking, sharing, and collaboration. As libraries of the 21st Century become in tune with current technologies, it is our duty as librarians to understand these tools and how they apply to the teens that are using them. In this presentation, we will discuss how to use social media to connect with teens. Through reaching out using these tools and education, social media can be used to take library services to a whole new level.
