Teen Displays

Lookee at my cute display to promote the YT collection. I set it across from the PCs to lure young patrons to the actual books!

I was rearranging the other day, and...
my CLM, Jeanette, and I decided that since folks don't use the reference almanacs and dictionaries much anymore, we should weed and interfile/circulate. Then, I was able to snag almanac stand for my YT display.
When we have book clubs during the summer (i.e., Twilight) I'll use the stand to promote that!

Also, I've attached a pic of a TTW-themed book trough display created by an artistic teen library page & moi:

For Teen Tech Week, our YAs participated in collection development, ordering over $350 in YA books from amazon.com for the library! The teens purchased titles of their choice. Nearly all of these books checked out within 5 days of being processed!

Metamorphosis: Artistic Transformations

This week, La Puente's nominee for Teen Volunteer of the Year, John K., made Project Runway (Or is it Project Metamorphosis?) work! He revived his favorite YA event, by acting as tailor for teens sewing iPod Cozies — and filmed his contribution for a high school graduation capstone.
A local artist helped with other art activities, including helping teens transform ordinary rocks into glittering lady bugs and dapper penguins.
