My community doesn know about Teen Tech Week. Why doesn YALSA more widely publicize the event?
Although YALSA sends out press releases, reaches out to media, and markets the event, we can’t reach every media entity in the U.S. and abroad. So we encourage each participating library, school, or bookstore to advertise their events in their local media by using the publicity tools we have available. Send out a press release, use the public service announcement scripts, and encourage the teens and parents you know to send letters to the editor. Register for Teen Tech Week and use the logo on your library’s website and calendar. As an association, we are only as strong as our members. Help spread the word!
