School Library Journal (SLJ) has a new blog: “Teen Librarian Toolbox” (TLT). A professional development hub for teen librarians created by Karen Jensen, TLT has been a popular resource, featuring book reviews, coverage of exemplary teen programming, technology, and social and developmental issues related to teenagers. Jensen, a 21-year veteran in the field and currently youth services librarian at the Betty Warmack Branch Library in Grand Prairie, TX, launched TLT in 2011. “I am excited to be joining SLJ and continue to be a part of this profession that I value so much and to continue to have a place to join in the larger conversation of what it means to be a YA librarian and how we can better meet the needs of teens in our libraries. It is an honor," she says. In addition to Jensen, three librarians are regular contributors to TLT. They are: Heather Booth, a teen services librarian at the Thomas Ford Memorial Library in Western Springs, IL; Amanda MacGregor, a former high school librarian and current freelance writer and book reviewer; and Robin Willis, a school library media specialist at Centennial Campus Magnet Middle School in Raleigh, NC. “Middle Grade Mondays,” “Tech Talk,” “Teen Services 101,” and “Things We Didn’t Learn in Library School” are among the regular features on TLT. Jensen says, “I am most proud of The #SVYALit Project, where we regularly engage in discussions about sexual violence in the life of teens by using YA literature.” Jensen’s post “Launching a Dialogue About Sexual Violence in YA Lit—and in Real Life” was featured in SLJ, both online and in print. “We are thrilled to welcome ‘Teen Librarian Toolbox’ to the SLJ blog network,” says SLJ executive editor Kathy Ishizuka. “TLT provides a unique content set, from practical, how-to resources and reviews to coverage of the social and developmental issues, which are so critical to working with this age group. It is our goal that, together with TLT, SLJ can better serve the needs of teen librarians and highlight their good work.” SLJ’s network of blogs: 100 Scope Notes Adult Books 4 Teens A Fuse #8 Production Good Comics for Kids Heavy Medal: A Mock Newbery Blog Neverending Search Some Day My Printz Will Come Teen Librarian Toolbox
