• W2265761949 abstract "I haven't always been a tween and teen librarian ... I was certified as an elementary school science teacher before I even considered attending graduate school for librarianship. Then, I started off my library career as a part-time youth services librarian, doing family storytimes and occasionally working with upper elementary level tweens. Though I was called the Tween Librarian, I didn't do a whole lot with the majority of the tween contingent, let alone teens. When the young adult librarian left on maternity leave, however, I was given the opportunity to become the tween and teen librarian. I was excited at the prospect of full time work; but I was frightened that it also meant being responsible for the teen Summer Reading Program (SRP), which included all students entering grades 6 to 12. I noticed that the teen SRP was extremely different from the children's SRP. And, while I had helped to plan and implement programs for the children's SRP, I wasn't sure exactly how that could translate to working with teens. In the past, the teen SRP had been more of a selfdirected program with a single grand prize winner, and teen participation was not very high. So, while it was tempting to keep to the status quo as I eased my way into a fulltime work schedule, I decided to transform the teen SRP at our library. I was fortunate enough to inherit a Teen Advisory Group (TAG), so I was able to seek teen input immediately. I asked them what they had thought about the previous year's teen SRP, what (if anything) they would want me to change, and how they thought I could attract more teens to our library. I wasn't quite prepared for the deluge of ideas, but I was thrilled to have so many suggestions with which to work. First of all, I discovered that a lot of TAG members (let alone other teens) didn't even know we had a teen SRP. Many of them thought that the SRP was just for little kids and that being a VolunTeen was the only option for tweens and teens. Marketing to students who would be entering grades 6 to 12 in the fall, I decided, would have to be a major priority in the six weeks that remained before the SRP began. But, how could I reach a lot of teens without a huge budget or wasting a lot of my pre-SRP planning time? The answer was simple: school visits. School visits work well with elementary school students, after all, so why couldn't they work for middle and high school students? After a few phone calls, and a flurry of e-mails, I had a visitation schedule in place. Now, all I needed was something to talk about! I knew that I needed a hook to get the teens interested, and that was my second priority. The TAG members had complained that the teen SRP was too difficult in the past. In previous years, teens had to read five books (of differing genres) to complete a Bingo sheet. Each Bingo was worth a single entry into the teen SRP grand prize drawing. Many teens, it seemed, did not think the amount of reading was really worth it. Not only that, but the grand prize didn't always appeal to all teens in the first place. The year that our library offered an acoustic guitar, for example, some teens already had a guitar, and many others weren't even interested in learning to play. In their words, participating that year would have been a waste of time. The TAG thought that, by offering a simplified game with a greater variety of prizes, we could convince more teens to sign up for the SRP. Instead of book genre bingo, we allowed teens to read anything they wanted and to merely track the amount of reading they did. We then set up a series of benchmarks at which teens could collect raffle tickets. We would offer several different prize raffles, and teens could choose which raffles they wanted to enter. Simply stated, we would let the teens decide which prizes were worth reading for. In 2008, the TAG suggested that we level the playing field even more by tracking the amount of time spent reading, rather than the number of pages read-so slower readers could earn as many raffle tickets as the speed readers. …" @default.
