If you didn't know, this week is Teen Tech Week. Teen Tech Week is sponsored by the American Library Association and YALSA, the Young Adult section of ALA, to promote and encourage teen technology use and exploration. Technology is all around us but there are even more ways for teens to be involved! This week we have some tech-related programming in the Teen Room to celebrate. For more information see some of great technology resources at the library and beyond.

Teen Tech Week Programming in the Teen Room (open to teens in grades 6 - 12; drop in program)
