I had heard about the Teen Librarian Toolbox blog/resource before, but hadn’t really spent much time exploring it until I had the chance to see Karen Jensen at this year’s Wisconsin Library Association YSS Luncheon.

If you haven’t taken time to look, I highly encourage you to take a gander.  Here are some of the treasures:

  • Real-life issues like sexual violence and consent, and ideas about how to use literature to open up important discussions about these topics
  • Suggestions for working with middle-grade/tween audiences (3rd-7th graders)
  • Teen Services 101, with everything from suggestions for booktalking to creating teen service plans to a whole bunch of other relevant stuff
  • A plethora of teen programming ideas
And a whole bunch more.  Take a peek, you’ll be astonished and pleased that there is such a fabulous resource out there FOR YOU!
