Teen Tech Tutors - Presented by Kelley Blue & Ben Lainhart of Wood Library

Overwhelmed by tech requests at your library? Some public libraries have successfully trained teen volunteers to work with patrons who need more one-on-one tech time than most library staff can afford.
This summer, Wood Library launched its inaugural Teen Tech Tutors program. Come learn about the entire process of setting up a TTT program, from interviewing applicants, to training, execution and evaluation.
