Managing the Afterschool Crowd at Your Library Hosted by the Library of Virginia
Wednesday, March 11th from 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET
The hours of 3-5 pm, Monday-Friday, can be a busy time for libraries. This is where libraries may get an influx of young people and an increase in behavior incidents. But this is also a time of great potential impact, where libraries can be a safe place and reach out to teens.
In this webinar, you’ll hear from a former teen services librarian whose library typically had 100-150 teens most days after school. She will share her and her and colleagues’ experiences on how to manage these chaotic (and fun!) hours.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
