TeenSpace Blogettiquette

What is the TeenSpace blog?

The TeenSpace blog is a service offered to teens ages 13-18 by the Lillie M. Evans Library District’s TeenSpace Team. This blog is about all the teen and young adult events and services offered here at the library including: Book Addicts Anonymous (teen book club), Teen Library Connection (TLC & TLC, Jr.), High School Cafe and more. The TeenSpace team will post questions, polls, upcoming events and recaps or topics for discussion.

Teens will be able to add comments to posts on the blog. You are encouraged to make suggestions for posts, events, services and content or leave constructive criticism.
