Services+for+Young+Adults

On March, 16, 2011, we were fortunate to have Jennifer Valasquez, Teen Services Coordinator at San Antonio Public Library, join our class via elluminate to talk about her work and her experiences as a teen librarian. Below is the link to the audio file from that session. Also, included is a transcript of the chat window, which has some of the links Jennifer referred to throughout the talk.
