Teen Tech Week 2012

March 4th starts Teen Tech Week! And this year's theme is Geek Out @ your library.

The purpose of this week is to make sure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies...especially the ones that are offered through libraries, like DVDs, databases, audiobooks, and video games, etc.

Remember that the library is a good resource for accessing information. Librarians (like me!) are the experts who can help teens (like you!) develop the skills necessary to use electronic resources effectively and efficiently. This, in turn, can help you get more out of the technology that you use.

So stop by the library during Teen Tech Week and ask us a question about ebook readers, homework help, video games, or any other technology you might be curious about. We're here to help!
