Programming Policy
SAPL - Teen Program Development Guidelines:
•Teen Library Program development will NOT be passive – with the Library in the role of “creator” and the teen patron in the role of “attendee.”•Teen Library Programming will NOT originate from:
•the interests of library personnel •library staffs’ or community members’ perception of the interests of teens •library staffs’ or adult community members’ presumption of what is “good” for teens.
Teen Library Programming WILL originate from:•Teens with library staff assuming the role of facilitator and guide during the process •Teens will actively participate in program development, implementation and play a role in the decision making process.

Things you can do today:
observe
Ask yourself…
Is the library set-up… a set-up?
Are the rules applied consistently by all staff?
