We just received this hot tip from our New England colleagues about a great free, day-long teen virtual conference that we are all invited to (see there ARE some bright sides to this pandemic!). h/t to Tessa Michaelson Schmidt for sending our way!
Teen Summit 2020 “May Contain Hazardous Materials” with author Adrienne Kisner.
Friday Oct 2 9:00 am -3:00 pm CST
Join us for a free daylong, virtual event focused on teen services. Featuring keynote speaker Adrienne Kisner, author of Dear Rachel Maddow, winner of a 2016 PEN New England Susan P Bloom Discovery Award and one of YALSA’s 2019 picks for Best Fiction for Young Adults, The Confusion of Laurel Graham and the recently published, Six Angry Girls. Nine different breakout sessions will be presented by New England Teen Librarians with topics ranging from books and reading, civic engagement, programming, teen volunteers, computational thinking, and more! At the end of the day we will have a special guest and fun giveaways! Find the schedule and program descriptions here.
Teen Summit 2020 is free and open to all library staff who work with teens, in any library type. All sessions will be recorded and accessible at the MLS Vimeo Teen Summit Showcase, with Closed Captioning available soon.
