Presentation: Teens and Libraries by Lee Rainie, Jan 23, 2013 at Young Adult Library Services Association. “7 takeaways from our research:

1. Teens live in a different information ecosystem
2. Teens live in a different learning ecosystem
3. Teens’ reading levels match/exceed adult levels
4. Teens use libraries and librarians more than others, but don’t necessarily love libraries as much
5. Teens have different priorities in library services
6. Teens will behave differently in the world to come
7. The public and teachers recognize this and want libraries to adjust to it”
