tweens/young teens + technology looks like at YOUR library and you might win a
$100 Amazon gift card. This contest is part of the first ever ALSC and YALSA
Joint Presidents’ Program to be held at ALA Anaheim
The program will focus on tweens and young teens and exploring their use of technology. What is the life of a tween or young teen like in this digital age?
