Mix & Mash @ Your Library: Teen Tech Week

Mix and Mash @ Your Library brings reading together with online and wireless technologies through two tech-driven activities.

Book Blurbs
Teens who text a review of their latest reads will receive a free custom set of earbud headphones and carrying case. All Book Blurbs should use no more than 160 characters and include the title, author, and thumbs up or down verdict—plus whatever else will fit! Book Blurbs should be sent to 816.876.6637. Other submission options include e-mailing teens@kclibrary.org or posting them on our website at kclibrary.org/teens. (All participants will receive an electronic receipt that may be redeemed for a free set of custom earbuds at any Library location.)

Video Trailer Workshops
Teens will receive one-on-one guidance on creating their own promotional video trailer for their favorite book (or movie, game, website, or magazine). No materials needed! The Library will provide filming equipment and offer tutorials on how to use free video-editing software. Maybe your video will be the next YouTube sensation!

Video Trailer workshops are scheduled for:

Friday, March 4 • 5 p.m. • Sugar Creek Branch
Thursday, March 10 • 4 p.m. • Waldo Branch
Thursday, March 17 • 4 p.m. • L.H. Bluford Branch
Friday, March 18 • 5 p.m. • Ruiz Branch
Saturday, March 19 • 2 p.m. • Central Library

Teen Tech Week is a national initiative coordinated by the Young Adult Library Services Association that promotes teen usage of new technologies in a competent and ethical manner.
