Hey y’all! The Connected Learning Lab published the work from my postdoc today! Two new reports for library staff and leaders compiling valuable insights and recommendations to foster teen engagement through Connected Learning. Learn more about the project and find reports and checklists here.

The image is a colorful infographic titled โ€œHow can public libraries foster teen engagement?โ€ It features four key points with corresponding illustrations:      Holistic Partnerships: The foundation for teen engagement involves holistic relationships with staff and community partners, symbolized by a handshake.     Community Partnerships: Expanding capacity to serve youth in all areas of connected learning, represented by an open book.     Storytelling About Youth Outcomes: Demonstrating impact through compelling storytelling, depicted by a light bulb.     Innovative Staff: Effective champions are staff who are lifelong learners and innovators, symbolized by a rocket ship. The bottom of the images highlights two new reports titled "Transformative Outcomes through Community Engagement" available at clalliance.org/connected-learning-through-libraries

  2. I also haven’t been around for about a week because of a big family medical emergency. Everyone’s okay now.
