Young Adult Services at Uniondale Public Library is happy to introduce its brand new “Teen Space” webpage for our Young Adult patrons. Google’s user friendly eblogger was the tool used to create this eye catching, easily navigated site. The page lists the current and upcoming YA programs at UPL. In addition, the monthly books discussion selections for the middle schools and high school are also listed on the page. This is done in recognition of the fact that many teens are extremely busy, they have a desire to participate in the library’s book discussions but they don’t have the time to travel to the library on the designated night. Now students can read the books and post their thoughts and comments (after moderator approval) on the website at their convenience. There are useful links on the page, including a link to a website dedicated to listing volunteer opportunities on Long Island, which is great for students in need of fulfilling community service hour requirements. Young Adults will also find a link to the main library page, where they can access the electronic databases and online catalog for help with their assignments. Teens interested in finding out information about the Junior Friends of Uniondale Public Library (the library’s young adult volunteer organization) will find a link to their revamped webpage as well.

Teachers are encouraged to visit Teen Space for a firsthand look and in turn advise their students to make use of the webpage which is designed specifically for them.
