Teen Tech Week, 2008
Tune in @ Your Library

Teen Tech Week is a national initiative sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association. Aimed at teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults, its purpose is to ensure that teens become competent, ethical users of technologies - especially those offered through libraries such as DVDs, databases, audiobooks, and videogames.

This year's theme -- Tune In @ Your Library -- focuses on music and sound. Programs are open to all 6th through 12th graders. Pre-registration is requested. To sign up contact Mary Kay Moran, Teen Librarian at 215-443-2609, extension 211 or email Mary Kay Moran at mmoran@mclinc.org.

Here's what's happening during Teen Tech Week ...
