Some things to think about from 7 Things for Teens at the Library (Besides Books) by Martha Brockenbrough:
Another really nice thing about librarians is that they can help answer questions without getting all judgmental about it. Jessamyn West told me she'd recently answered teens' questions about witchcraft, Sweet Valley High, and skateboarding regulations, among other things.
And:
This might even be the most important thing for teenagers at the library: someone to help them find what they're seeking, someone to point them toward books, music, movies, and other things that can help them understand themselves better, without all the baggage that can come when parents and teachers know all their
secrets.
Well said.
