During the second week of March, thousands of libraries hold special events and programs for Teen Tech Week, aimed at encouraging teens to take advantage of technology available through libraries and to be smart, ethical consumers of those offerings. Becoming a promotional partner is an effective way to reach young adult services librarians, secondary school librarians and the teens they serve. If you are interested in partnering with YALSA to support Teen Tech Week, please contact Beth Yoke at
