But with the Internet now accessible from public libraries, cyber cafés and cell phones, getting online is easier than ever for nearly anyone. Imagine a typical Internet surfer and your first thought might be of a teen or young adult, not a grandparent or retiree. Even so, Americans of all ages are happily crossing the digital divide.

For me, the experience changed my perspective on what teens want from social environments and encounters. It's easy to forget that teens are most comfortable being social with those they already know, not people who are unknown to them. Tags: Talking to Strangers. What's your experience?

Museums (and libraries) are trusted sources of information. They were both commissioned by organizations whose purpose is to support museums and libraries. It makes us uncomfortable with opening museum content up to comment, tagging, and alterations by visitors. I'm reading a book of essays about how to teach written by teens.

I worked on one project in which the client institution thought they wanted unfettered teen expression. When they saw the results of that expression, they struggled with the content and eventually integrated it into their project in a way that diminished the teens’ involvement and hard work.

Institutions like the Library of Congress and the Powerhouse Museum are getting thousands of quality tags and comments on previously hidden away images. And now, on to the exciting bits.

Several libraries have started to offer gaming nights where you can drink soda and play Wii to your heart's content. Librarian Aaron Schmidt tells the great story of a game night of Dance, Dance, Revolution at his library in which a teen asked him: “Hey Aaron, can I go upstairs to grab a magazine and book to read?”

Which is really much closer to the library, which is why I know something about study storage, because individual quest is potentially there. I went to the library today and wanted to find pictures of houses to give me some ideas and I’m going to Paris so I wanted a book on that. It’s none of your business why I’m showing up.

I spoke about my recent obsession with book drops and how libraries are turning their most mundane transactions into the basis for beautiful, useful, sexy interactions with users. She made the clear point that teens use social networks to connect with people they already know, not to meet strangers.

The recent flurry of restrictions that has sent teens fleeing? I think it's a good thing that librarything gives me a way to talk to strangers about books that feels safer than approaching the drooling guy at the public library.

It’s ironic, when you think about the great pains that museums and libraries go to to create spaces that are “teen-positive,” that malls attract kids effortlessly with fluorescent lights and lousy music. Tags: design Unusual Projects and Influences visitors. Plus, malls are cool.

We have a live library in our lobby here at Bloomerang. If you have a tween or a teen, I’m sure you’re familiar with TikTok. The majority of TikTokers, they’re so young, they’re so spontaneous, they’re so generous with reactions, with shares, with tagging. We’re talking about it.
