Teen Tech Week is a national initiative aimed at teens, their parents, educators, and other adults. The purpose is to encourage teens to use technology tools currently available at their library including computers, DVDs, audio players, audiobooks, databases and more. "Technology plays an important role in teen life today and this is a wonderful opportunity for us to share with our teens what our libraries have to offer," said Joe Stines, Director of Libraries.
