I love this idea. Teens are often forgotten in the library, and what a great way to provide support during one of the most stressful times of high school. I like that you are including snacks. Teens are hungry and if there is free food, they will come. Additionally, I can easily see this expanding in years to come with therapy dogs, regulation crafts, and more!
I agree with the fact that teens tend to get forgetten in the library. I personally believe that the reason why it is hard to create programs for teens is because the intrests of teens differ from person to person. Therefore, attracting teens requires librarians to become creative and find events that caters to the interests and needs of the teen community.
