MARCH 1, 2008
Tune In @ Your Library

March 2-8 is Teen Tech Week! Every year, the Young Adult Library Services Association celebrates technology and the teens that use it. In libraries across the country, teens and librarians are getting together to share their wisdom about the best and worst techie gadgets and to discuss the uses of technology in libraries. This year, the Monterey Public Library is celebrating technology by participating in The Big Read. Books are technology! ( Check out this YouTube video.) The Big Read book this year is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. In this book, reading is forbidden and books are burned as a consequence. So here is a question for you: If you could save one tech gadget from burning (e.g. books, DVDs, iPod, T.V., Xbox, Blackberry, etc) what would you save?
