TeenTober is a 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 inside and outside the library. TeenTober allows libraries the flexibility to choose what to celebrate (digital literacy, reading, technology, writing, etc) and the length of time for each celebration.

This year we will have a reading challenge for all teens for the month of October. Teens that register receive a book and all teens that complete their activity booklet receive a weekly prize.

How to use Chat with a Librarian (K-12)

1. Fill out your information
2. Put the name of your school in the box
3. Write your question in the my question box

Why would I want to use this?

This new Chat option was developed to better meet the information needs of the commonwealth’s elementary, middle, and high school students. So, whether it’s help finding reliable web-sources, peer-reviewed articles, learning how to correctly cite a source, or even just asking random (but essential) questions—POWER Chat K-12 will help.

Where is the link?
