Using the Google Blogs search engine I found a blog called Youth Services Corner. It is written by a woman who simply goes by Whitney and she talks a lot about library youth services. She likes to suggest great ideas on how to interact with teens to draw more interest to the library. Here is a piece from a post called "Program Idea: Featuring Local Teens":

"Featuring local teen talent on in-library displays or in programs is a cost-effective way to build community ties and encourage teen participation. Some libraries host battle of the bands competitions and others solicit teen-written material for literary zines. What other ways can you highlight the achievements of local teens?"

One other thing she likes to do on her blog is mention people who have great programs at libraries from across the country.
