Upcoming Webinars

Teens, Tweens & Social Networking
Thursday, October 20th: 2 pm
Presented by: Laura Solomon, Library Services Manager, Ohio Public Library Information Network

We often have assumptions about how teens and tweens use the Internet. But:

* Are those assumptions true?
* Should your library have a MySpace or a Facebook account? Both?
* How about Twitter?
* What about cellphones? Text messaging? iPads?

Learn the answers to these questions and many more, as well as discovering how your 
library can effectively engage (or not) with young people in social media.
