Welcome to the ALD Teen Services Blog!

Welcome to the Arapahoe Library District Teen Services blog! The purpose of this blog is to provide a new and additional means of communication for ALD staff to find out about and share what's going on in teen services throughout the district. Here are the types of information you will find here in the near future:


  • Information and staff comments on teen (YA) books

  • Information about upcoming teen programs and events

  • Links to articles, other blogs and books related to teen services or issues

  • Ideas and suggestions related to teen services

  • Best Practices sharing

  • Request for input and comments about teen services

  • Reports and updates from meetings, conferences or training sessions

The Teen Services AST's will moderate and supply content but any ALD staff is welcome and encouraged to add comments. We want to hear from you! To comment, just click the comments button at the bottom of the page. You will see other comments on the left and a box to enter your comments in the right. It is helpful to have your own Blogger account to post comments, but not necessary. If you don't, just click the "other" button and enter your name in the box provided. If you would like to have something posted, please e-mail Monica O. or Anna Z. with the information. Or, if you would like to add your own post, we can send you an invitation which will give you access.

Finally, I know this whole blogging thing may be new or unfamiliar to many of you so please, if you would like any help, please let Anna or I know. The best way to learn is to try it out. But be careful, it could be addictive!
