Teens teens, they're good for the heart!

The more together, the more the farts!

Forgive me. I am in a sillier mood than usual. My apologies. Anywayz, let's see what my big bag of backlogged blogging delights has in store for you:

• An interesting video relating back to the summer reading theme of creativity and expression. Thanks I.N.K!
• Ever stumble across an accidental teen book? Read the facts so you're prepared how to handle the situation if it arises. Fortunately we have YALSA leading the way...
• Speaking of young adult associations (yes, I'm pushing it here, but work with me), Alicia of the LibrariYAn attended her first YA section meeting of the NJLA. Her reaction is interesting and allowed me, a person who has never gone to one, an inside glimpse.
  
• The month of February is all about advocacy for YALSA, for each day we get more information on advocacy for teens in the library. Here is what they had to say on day one:

I understood that if I wanted to guarantee that teens had great library services, I needed to stand up for them and for the programs and services a library can provide to them. I realized, that I couldn’t simply say “It will never happen” or “No one understands what I’m trying to accomplish” instead I needed to inform others about what teen services and teens are all about.

If I didn’t do it, who would? If you don’t do it, who will?

Thus far, my favorite entry they've published on this topic came on day two: the advocacy toolkit. Check it out!
