Getting started, or How Do You Create an Initiative Out of Thin Air?
• Plan your program in the context of your library’s Strategic Plan/vision/mission statement– At every turn in the search for funding
you will have to justify your program. It starts here.
– Root it in research.
(It might sound
obvious, but)

SPACES• 2nd to mentors in importance (I think)• 2 branch Labs (East Liberty and Allegheny—
recently renovated) are housed in meeting rooms until a teen space build-out scheduled for 2013-2014• Meeting rooms—temporary solution, but can
make it work• Main Lab housed in CLP-Teen Dept.

SOUND ISSUES
• Headphones
• USB recording interface means all you hear is muted strumming or keyboard strikes.
• Teen space/digital media lab is ideally placed in a dedicated space, set off from other library services. (Obvious, maybe, but true!)
