Teen Tech WeekTeen Tech Week, a national initiative sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association, is aimed at teens, their parents and educators. Its purpose is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries such as databases, on-line homework help, gaming, and downloadable audiobooks and ebooks. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries' nonprint resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted information technology professionals.

Tune in to the Troy Public Library's Teen webpage each day of Teen Tech Week for tips on using the Library's electronic resources.
