Teens can be a difficult group to get into the library because of their busy schedules with school, activities, and work. Teen subscription bags are one thing that we use to bring the library to the teens. In this session, we will talk about how we run our teen subscription bag service at our library. We will talk about how to get started, how we get teens interested and signed up, how we choose books, and how we have adapted based on what we have learned over the years. We will also share ideas about ways to get teens to participate for their bags each quarter by giving something back to the library. Participants will gain access to templates that we use for all aspects of the program from registration to keeping track of books, to tracking participation. You will leave with all the resources you need to start your own teen subscription bag service at your library.
