|A few things of note this week… Tweens are having (were having?) beauty contests on Instagram. Not too surprising, but the grassroots counter movement is certainly worth noting. A mom ruminates on the issue, and coincidentally I spotted this piece this week too, “Stop Instagramming Your Perfect Life“. One of my favorite recent professional development […]

gaming in libraries, Movies, Programming, Teen Tech Week, TPIB
|I don’t know why Teen Tech Week always sneaks up on me. Maybe because March is always when summer reading planning seems to be at it’s fullest. Or maybe because it always seems to fall during my school systems’ spring breaks. Or it’s because I’m waiting for spring. Who knows. All I know is I’m […]

Everyone’s always talking about their “un-valentine’s” party for teens. And I’m right up there with them, because I’ll share my secret: I *HATE* Valentine’s day. I’ve hated it since I was little, and we had to give EVERYONE a Valentine (such a lie because there were people who hated me, and I know I didn’t […]
I LOVE having movie nights with my teens. It doesn’t matter what type of movie it is, it seems like we always have a good time, and it is one of my least labor-intensive programs because I find the movie, double check that it works with my umbrella movie licensing agreement, figure out a simple craft […]
These days it seems like Hollywood is raiding YA fiction for it’s screenplays. We have Beautiful Creatures, City of Bones, and Ender’s Game to look forward to, while every day it seems another news release screams another book has been optioned, sometimes even before the series is complete (*cough* Insurgent *cough*). So I thought that while we’re talking crossovers for teens, we could […]
