Celebrate Teen Tech Week at Warsaw Public Library March 8th to 14th 2009.
Take a survey.
Socialize!


Do you hear reports on TV about how MySpace is bad for you, or how teens steal music online? But most teens are not irresponsible when it comes to technology and one important reason why is Warsaw Public Library.

Libraries are not musty, old buildings filled with shushing librarians. Sure, you like to read, but one thing you will really love about the library is all of the technology available there for free. Get on the public computers or sign on to our wireless network with your laptop. Do homework, keep in touch with friends and family, play games in a relaxed atmosphere.

Tell other teens who may not be using the library that they should definitely check it out. There is more to do here than they may think, and there are people here who can help you get your questions answered. Also, parents should go to the library, too. If they're worried about their teens and the Internet, a librarian can show them how to use things like Facebook in a way that keeps us safe. They can check out DVDs and CDs for us to use, for free.

The theme for Teen Tech Week is "Press Play @ Your Library." Do you love to hang out with friends, play video games, use the Web, and listen to music? I don’t think many kids realize you can do all this at the library. The library is a great (and safe) place to relax with friends, do homework, or have some time by yourself.
