We’ll be posting a technology-related question on the Pickens County Library System’s Facebook page and all teens who comment between March 1st and March 9th will be entered to win a flexible computer keyboard.

Teen Tech Week is a national initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) aimed at teens, their parents, educators, and other concerned adults.  The purpose of the initiative is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries.  Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries’ non-print resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.
