Teen brain development rivals that of the toddler years — maybe that explains the attitude and characteristics of this historically underserved age group. Find out exactly why teens act the way they do and learn how librarians can address patron behavior issues in a way that will develop relationships with young adults. By the end of this class, participants will:
· Understand the physical development of the adolescent brain and how it manifests into physical and emotional behaviors;
· Examine the developmental needs and assets of adolescents, and the role libraries must play in helping teens grow into healthy adults;
· Discuss how to apply newly acquired knowledge and techniques to improve library services to teens in ways that meet developmental needs and build developmental assets.
