Sharing Your Photos

There are several ways that you can share photos of your library, programs, and teens.
Ryan has created a flickr page where you can post photos:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/suffolkcountypubliclibraries/
You can also upload photos and videos to Teen Librarian.
You are also welcome to send any images or videos either directly to me of send me the link to your posted photos. On SCLS Teen Services I like to post photos of actual teens, usually a close up of faces, who are involved in some type of interesting activity. I like to post the photos of library buildings, decorations, and large group activities on SCLS Teen Tour. In fact, I just posted a nice photo Lynn sent of the new chairs in her teen area.
We all love seeing what’s happening around the county, so be sure to share those picture perfect- and not so perfect moments.
Graphic Novel Survivor

YALSA’s 2008 Great Graphic Novel selection committee is seeking teen input. Do you have a group of teens who would be willing to voice their opinions about the current slate of nominated titles? Any group of teens who would like to meet at their local library, look over a selection of titles ( the books will be supplied) and vote for their favorites is welcome!
If you have a potential group (any size) that might be interested, please contact Barbara Moon.
View the nominated list.
Nominate a title.
Purpose of Recommended Graphic Novel List:
“The list presents graphic novels published in the past 16 months that are recommended reading for teens aged twelve to eighteen. It is a general list of graphic novels, both fiction and nonfiction, selected for proven or potential appeal to the personal reading tastes of teens.
For the purpose of the committee, graphic novels are defined to include trade compilations and original works published in a sequential art format. Such titles should incorporate acceptable literary and artistic quality with effectiveness of presentation.
Standard selection criteria consistent with the Library Bill of Rights shall apply. Librarianship focuses on individuals, in all their diversity, and that focus is a fundamental value of the Young Adult Library Services Association and its members. Diversity is, thus, honored in the Association and in the collections and services that libraries provide to teens.”
