Teens, Tweens & Social Networking (webinar)
Thursday, October 20th: 2 pm
Presented by: Laura Solomon, Library Services Manager, Ohio Public Library Information Network
We often have assumptions about how teens and tweens use the Internet. But:
* Are those assumptions true?
* Should your library have a MySpace or a Facebook account? Both?
* How about Twitter?
* What about cellphones? Text messaging? iPads?
Learn the answers to these questions and many more, as well as discovering how your
library can effectively engage (or not) with young people in social media.
This webinar is worth 1 CE credit. It’s being co-sponsored with the Manitowoc-Calumet Library System.
Laura Solomon is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network and the former Web Applications Manager for the Cleveland Public Library.

Her book, "Doing Social Media So It Matters: A Librarian’s Guide", was published in late 2010. As a former children’s librarian, she enjoys bringing the “fun of technology” to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.
