Teen Librarian is a blog about libraries (public & school), focusing on working with teens.
This site was set up in 2006 by Matt Imrie who runs it to this day.
I am currently a Youth Services Librarian living and working in the Midwest I have previously worked as a School Librarian as well as a Children’s, Teen and Youth Services Librarian in South Africa and the United Kingdom.
TL also carries book reviews mostly young adult with crime, mystery, horror books & graphic novels.
You can find me here most days and also on Twitter as @mattlibrarian
My friend and fellow Librarian, Caroline Fielding, came on board as UK correspondent when my move to the US was imminent. You’ll find her on twitter as @CazApr1
Looking forward to trying this out! Many thanks, your enthusiasm is awesome. Will let you know how it goes with my 11/12 year olds! Will also use as an introduction to plagiarism too – explaining how you came up with the idea and the cards, but I will be using it courtesy of you – and since they are quite keen on ‘not copying’ hopefully they will understand. As for the Dewey bit, it’s always a struggle – even though their junior school library was arranged in ‘topics’ they find it hard to understand the categorisation of ‘topics’ in Dewey. Will report back!
