Program Description

This presentation will focus on different ways a high school librarian has found to engage teenagers.

What can you expect?

• We will hear directly from teenagers via mixed media about what programs have been a hit or miss and why
• You will leave with a toolbox of ideas that you can implement immediately that are low cost and little effort
• You will hopefully have a foundational understanding of how to grow this target demographic's participation in the library moving forward

Presenter Bio

Anne Berger is a quirky high school librarian from Chandler. She has been at the same high school for 16 years. She started out as a classroom teacher, but realized she wanted to interact with even more students at her site. Her principal took a chance on her and let her become the school's first librarian. She lets the needs of the school guide her programs and is very passionate about teenage engagement in the library.
