We have a guest post by Pauline Holdsworth about the devastating effects of Street Harassment.

Robin addresses the importance of learning to let go in relation to being in charge of ALL the things. (Something they don’t teach you in Library School.)

Christie shared three of her book feels in this week’s I’ll Never Get Over.

We have a Take 5 book list related to governmental abuse of power in YA Literature.

The Apocalypse in music form is the subject of this Friday Fill-In.

And Karen spent all day Thursday creating an A to Z guide of all the book lists on TLT.  From Aliens to Zombies with everything in between, check out our over 50 book lists.

Around the Web:

In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, Ashton Kutcher offered some very inspirational advice to teens at this year’s Teen Choice Awards.

The Getty Trust launched its Open Content Program designed to “make(s) available, without charge, all available digital images to which the Getty holds the rights or that are in the public domain to be used for any purpose.”

The movie version of Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones premiered in Hollywood.

Actress Shailene Woodley, who is getting ready to film The Fault in Our Stars, is cutting off her hair to play the role of Hazel and donating it to the organization Children With Hair Loss. The actress is encouraging others who have at least 8 inches to donte their hair as well.

Also, NPR shared a safety checklist for teen athletes.
