Rosman Students Recently Celebrate Teen Tech Week


Teen Tech Week is held annually the second week of March and local teens tuned in at the library as Rosman Middle and High Schools to celebrate.

They joined thousands of other libraries and schools across the country who were celebrating this year’s theme “DIY @ your library” to raise awareness about how Rosman Middle and High School creates a space to extend teens’ learning beyond the classroom where they can explore, create and share content.

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 technology, especially the types offered through libraries. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to take advantage of the technology at libraries for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals who can help them achieve greater digital literacy.  

“Getting teens into libraries is essential,” said School Librarian Sarah Justice. “Offering gaming, access to computers, and online help is important, and letting them know that we can help educate them on how to use these resources will get them in the door. Once they’re in the door, we can show teens that with technology at the library, anything is possible.”
