February 25, 2015 by Karen Jensen, MLS

In the summer before I began my Junior year of high school my family moved. Again. That’s what happens when you are a military family. But even though you know it’s going to happen, it doesn’t make it suck any less. A few weeks into the new semester at a new school I received a […]

Serving Full T.I.L.T.: Sharing Stories to Make the Case

February 18, 2015 by Heather Booth

I’ve been to a lot of workshops, lectures, and conferences over the years. I’ve heard perspectives from and philosophies of many different librarians and educators. I’ve learned a lot. But the points that have really stuck with me and become part of my daily practice are not based on the statistics or the research findings or […]

Serving Teens Full T.I.L.T. : Diverse Teens, Diverse Needs (Eden Grey)

February 11, 2015 by Karen Jensen, MLS

When talking about serving teens, we can’t neglect the need to talk about diversity because like all people groups, teens are a diverse population.

Our series continues with a brief look at the teen brain. Why? Well, first of all, it’s just really fascinating stuff. But those of us who serve teens need to understand where our patrons are if we are to structure environments, programs, and services that are appropriate to their developmental phase. Additionally, gaining a greater […]

Serving Full T.I.L.T.: Sarcasm, Spice and Everything Awesome: The Developing Teen by Rebecca Denham

January 21, 2015 by Karen Jensen, MLS

Teenhood is a confusing time for teens and the adults in their lives.  Adolescents who never before questioned authority are suddenly abusing sarcasm, questioning every authority figure in sight and dependent on their friends rather than parental figures for emotional support.  There are biological changes impacting teens physiologically and social development factors that influence the […]

Serving Full T.I.L.T. (Teens in Libraries Today): By the numbers, making the case for teen services with demographics

January 14, 2015 by Karen Jensen, MLS

The idea for Serving Full T.I.L.T. began with a seemingly simple question: How do you convince library administrators, staff and your local community that we need to be serving teens?
