To participate, share a link to your audiobook reviews, news, or features from the previous month (so, for June 1st, share anything posted between May 1 and June 1). You can email them to stacked.books@gmail.com or by posting them right here. We will collect, organize, and post them for all to share. If you are a publisher of audiobooks or write about them for publication, get in touch. Want to promote this meme?

An amazing way to get your tweens and teens to know the “unfamiliar” bits of your library is to do self-directed scavenger hunts.

Technology

You know that your “kids” tend to congregate to one particular area- whether it’s your teen space, a place with the most comfortable chairs or a low table for card gaming, or the place furthest away from the supervising eyes of the non-teen people at the desk. And while they’ll know where to find the YA books, MAD Magazine and Alternative Press, and manga, do they know where to find non-fiction books for reports? Or how to operate one of the databases? If you become devious and take a little time out of your day, you can take a theme and turn a lesson in the library world into a creative self-directed program that will make them want to participate.

Scavenger hunts can be as intricate or as simple as you want them to be. Or, like I did for Teen Tech Week this year, take a page from Gwyneth Jones ( The Daring Librarian, and go with a QR scavenger hunt! School Library Monthly Blog. Library_Data.
