<p><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">Working with teens has its ups and downs - it can be highly challenging, but extremely rewarding. Teens in the US also happen to be an underserved population. As of 2015, <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3322476&ymlink=231302210&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fall4ed%2Eorg%2Fpress%2Fnew%2Dalliance%2Dreport%2Duncovers%2Dmissing%2Dmiddle%2Din%2Dfederal%2Deducation%2Dfunding%2F">data shows</a> that federal funding "largely ignores" middle and high schools, which receive tens of billions of dollars less than early and post-secondary education programs. The federal government has made strong investments in early, primary, and post-secondary education, but has fallen behind with these "middle" years. So where do libraries fit into this? According to <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3322476&ymlink=231302210&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eala%2Eorg%2Fyalsa%2Fteens%2Dneed%2Dlibraries">YALSA</a>, about 14 million middle and high school students are on their own after school every day. Those hours between 3 and 6 p.m. are the peak time for juvenile crime and experimentation with drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. </font><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">Libraries can and do fill in this gap for schools and families. In fact, frequently, libraries are the only safe place that teens can go after school if they don't participate in school-sponsored extracurriculars. If you're a teen librarian, you may actually be the only teen services employee in your building, which doesn't give you a lot of opportunity to network, brainstorm, or share ideas with your peers. Knowing these teen services are highly important for the teens themselves as well as for our communities, library organizations all over the state offer various opportunities for those employed in teen services to network and share their creativity, programming, problems, and more. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">This March, YALSA started presenting free, live monthly webinars on a variety of teen issues. Each one is facilitated by knowledgeable youth development experts and library staff and focuses on a different competency in YALSA’s brand new <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3322476&ymlink=231302210&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eala%2Eorg%2Fyalsa%2Fguidelines%2Fyacompetencies">Teen Services Competencies for Library Staff</a>. All of these webinars will be held from 2:00 – 3:00pm, EST, the second Thursday of the month. These are always free and open to any interested individual, regardless of job or membership status. Webinar recordings will be available for those who can’t participate in the live session. This month's webinar deals with <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3322476&ymlink=231302210&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fzoom%2Eus%2Fmeeting%2Fregister%2Fa5ccf7868f9ad8d68c34be5db4a05ad8">interacting with teens</a>.
