Alliance Library System and TAP Information Services Announce
Trendy Topics  2010:  Teens and Technology
Alliance Library System and TAP Information Services are pleased to announce
the third in a dynamic monthly series of online workshops librarians can
enjoy right at their desktops on hot topics.  The latest conference on Teens
and Technology is scheduled for Tuesday, April 13.  Kelly Czarnecki from the
Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County is the keynote speaker.
She will talk about “A Great Fit: Teens, Technology and Libraries!”  Kelly’s
talk will take a look at how libraries throughout the country are engaging
teens with technology and why. Then she will address ways (low budget!) that
libraries can integrate more technology programs and services for teens in
their library and community and convince their administrators along the way.

include:

·                    Dodie Ownes, Editor of SLJTeen on “Teens and
Technology”

Gaming Bandwagon: Advocacy, Best Practices and Current Trends”
