Teen Think Tank
Registration is now open for Teen Think Tank, Friday, September 13, 9:30 am – 4:00 pm at the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County (305 Wick Ave, Youngstown).
Going strong twice a year since 2013, Teen Think Tank is a librarian-led event and a great opportunity for teen librarians to get together and share ideas, insights, and opinions. The goal is for you to leave with at least one new contact and a handful of new ideas for programs, decorations, crafts, books, and more. Expect a lot of hands-on opportunities so you get to try games, make crafts, etc. - all ideas and experiences you can take back to your library.
This is a FREE event. Lunch is on your own. You can bring your lunch, have food delivered, or go eat out at a nearby restaurant.
