Talking Teen Services – Understanding Teens: Intersectional Factors - part 1 of 3 (LibrariesLearn/CSL) Online
Understanding Teens is a 3-part Talking Teen Services series facilitated by members of the Teen Services team at Arapahoe Libraries in Colorado. All three sessions do go together but they can also be attended independently. Attendees do not have to be present at a previous session to benefit from the content of the next. Teens are important patrons in our libraries, with unique and evolving needs. In this series of webinars, we will share our approach in working towards welcoming, inclusive teen services by using staff training. Our goals with our staff training are to establish a base of empathy through better understanding of teens and their current experiences, and to offer practical strategies in working with youth. Each session will include working through a different part of the training. Our first session will be about intersectional factors that impact how teens show up in our libraries. We will think about how our own lenses might impact our responses, ways to plan and provide inclusive services, and practical strategies in supporting teens. See Oct 15 for part 2.
