Young Adult Library Services Association Offers Mini-Grants for Teen Tech Week
Teen Tech Week is designed to help teens learn to become efficient and ethical users of technology, especially in a library setting. Teen Tech Week also encourages teens to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology. Teen Tech Week 2011 will be celebrated March 6-12 with a theme of “Mix and Mash @ your library.”
Through funding from the Margaret A. Edwards Trust, the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association, will award up to ten Teen Tech Week mini-grants, consisting of $450 in cash and $50 worth of Teen Tech Week products, to YALSA members who create a reading program that incorporates technology.
