I’m one of few Teen Librarians, (I’m not a teenager, i just serve them), in the USA. I’m well versed in Anime, popular series, new books, older books, video games and popular music.
THe only thing is that i seem to suck at programming. A Teen Librarian can’t just read a book or play a video game and be good at their job. They have to engage their community in a real way, they must help create a (positive) physical presense. Not too many of our programs are big hits, and by “big hit” i mean more than 5 people show up. So i’ll have to work more with the kids to find out what they, as a collective, are looking for from us.
I can’t even consider myself a passable librarian until i have another program that breaks and attendence of 12.
