But I'm Boooooorrrrrred!: Decoding the Tween brain at your Library

Remember being a tween? That curiosity, excitement, and often fearful awkwardness, about growing up? In this session we'll explore the middle school years with a look at tween brain development, and hear from some tweens themselves, via recorded interviews about preadolescent awkwardness. We will combine the findings with successful programming plans proven to reach, engage and serve tweens. The highly interactive discussion will include volunteer opportunities, programming and readers advisory ideas, with plenty of time to exchange your ideas, experiences, and challenges for serving tweens.
