For our strategy & roadmap I decided to lay out how my local library could create a YA Book Club run by teens. My main motivation here is seeing how spaces originally meant for teens seem to be getting either reduced or a bit overrun with patrons outside of the intended demographic.
While there’s certainly nothing wrong with enjoying a good YA book no matter what your age is, I think for teens it can feel invasive and uncomfortable to have to share one of the few places specifically set aside for them. I’d like to give them back a space in their local library community AND I want them to have some ownership over it, which is why I think having teens run the book club would be beneficial.
I’ve chosen to use google slides for this project
*If access is restricted let me know. It should be public but we all know how that goes.
Hi @bh553, this is such a great topic. We have similar challenges in designated teen spaces. Your slides are so well done and inspiring. Love it!
Thank you Angela!
