We plan to have flyers available to distribute at the upcoming ALA conference for tshirts. We would like to sell these tshirts to raise money for an island for the teen library.
Keep your eyes open on the Teen M2 which is picking up again for information on the virtual teen library!
Librarians rule...again (Robin at Snarkmarket spoke to a group of librarians last week about getting onto MySpace...Ypulse reader and librarian Kelly takes it even further by working on how do build a youth library in Second Life)
Virtual Teen Library Services Meeting
Please join Ray Lightworker and I tonight at 5pm (SL time), on the second floor of the Med library building. This will be the first meeting to discuss the virtual teen library and services. Hope to see you all there. If you're not able to come, we'll keep good notes.
I spoke with School Library Journal today about a short write -up to appear in their June issue about the Teen Second Life project. Thank you to Eiseldora for her posts on the YALSA blog to get the project noticed. Stay tuned!
I have interest and support from my library department for this project as 'cutting edge technology' that we can aim to use as another access point for meeting teens where they are at.
