YALSA's kickin' off something new, y'all!
TeenTober is a new, nationwide celebration hosted by libraries every October and aims to celebrate teens, promote year-round teen services and the innovative ways teen services helps teens learn new skills, and fuel their passions in and outside the library. TeenTober replaces YALSA’s previous Teen Read Week™ and Teen Tech Week™ celebrations, allowing libraries the flexibility to choose what to celebrate (digital literacy, reading, technology, writing, etc) and the length of time for each celebration.
Library staff are encouraged to utilize this new celebration to advocate for and raise awareness of the importance of year-round teen services in libraries.
For its inaugural year, the celebration will have a soft launch with free, digital marketing tools, which will be available in the coming weeks.

Is there a unified theme for TeenTober? I love to plan activities around the theme...if there is one. But I need to get it done now in order to have things in place for October. Thanks for any insight!
I am also wondering if there is a theme? We are having a meeting tomorrow morning to begin our planning-

Hello!
As far as I'm aware, there's no official theme/marketing available yet. I'll do a search and will report back as soon as I find something! - Katherine :)
