Teen Librarians Jacob Glemaker and Michelle Kanis, unable to meet with students in person due to the pandemic, compiled several lists of quick links and tutorial videos so teens can explore and get connected to useful information.
“We hope that teens from all over our Library system will learn about new digital resources like OhioMeansJobs in order to map out potential career paths, explore different career choices, and also look at local colleges that will help them achieve these goals of breaking int degree or certificate programs,” said Glemaker. “John Lortie, Teen Librarian at the Anderson Branch, compiled a list of digital tours for colleges in Ohio. This is great for students who were thinking about physically touring a school, but could not because of the pandemic. This way they are still able to learn about what options are available to them.”
