The City Manager of Oil City sent a copy of the article "Revolution in the Stacks" from the journal Governing to the Oil City Library; Bruce was then kind enough to share it with me. It is about making the public library more appealing to Teens, an effort many of you have already successfully undertaken. The journal Governing goes out to many of the elected & non-elected officials in Pennsylvania. It might be a good idea to draw your local officials attention to both the article and how your library is implementing the recommendations made therein.
A particularly bright feather in our cap is that the article quotes Kim Bolan who the District had the pleasure of hosting for the creating Teen Spaces Workshop last Autumn. I know many of you attended and enjoyed that session.

The Oil Creek District Pipeline is intended to be a two way conduit of information between the 14 member libraries of the Oil Creek Library District and the District Library Center. In time, the pipeline will also serve as an idea exhange, a "go to" resource, and an extension of our professional community.
