On April 15, 2025, the NYS Library held a T3/Transforming Teen Services workshop. The full day workshop was hosted by the Mid York Library System and was facilitated by two trainers from the NY T3 team: Stephanie Markham and Kenneth Roman. Thirty attendees participated, representing public libraries from six different public library systems.
The focus of the workshop was on Connected Learning, one of the core concepts of Teen Services. Attendees learned about the principles of Connected Learning and how to connect theory to practice for developing or enhancing teen programs in their libraries and for reaching out to and working with teens in their communities. There were many lively discussions, networking, and sharing of ideas for connecting and working with teens!
