video games, audio media, computers and print media.71% of teens use the internet as their primary source for completing

homework.Yet research has shown that teens lack skills to use the internet correctly.

--Young Adult Library Services Association

Why Not?Technology is constantly changing and the library is a place to ensure that with the changes, students can be ethical users of information. Instilling the proper use of technology, learning to use non-print sources to help

with education as well as internet safety will be the focus of the program.
