MORE Teen Programs That Work

Also available at

Catalog Description: YA program expert RoseMary Honnold returns with a follow-up to her highly-praised 101+ Teen Programs that Work. This new sourcebook provides even more affordable, teen-tested program ideas from libraries across the U.S. and Canada. Every aspect of teen service is covered with suggestions for crafts ("Henna Tattoos," "It's a Bead Thing"), book groups ("Teen Anime Club," "Books-On-Tape Club"), food ("Fear Factor," "Teen Bake Off"), parties ("Un-Valentines Day Party"), games ("Teen Game Night"), lock-ins ("TAB Library Lock-in"), school collaboration ("Finals Café"), reading programs ("CSI @ the Library,"), and more. New sections are specifically targeted to boys, girls, and tweens and expanded sections explore partnering with parents and kids. Additional programs include "Teen Choice Awards," "DIY Beauty," "Journalism Boot Camp," "Hip-Hop Workshops," and more. Throughout the book, Honnold offers a collection connection with each activity and provides feedback from participants, sample surveys, promotional pieces, and photographs. This complete resource puts everything together for both the experienced and the novice librarian serving teens.
