I came across an article about the new (at least to me) YOUMedia section of various Chicago Public Libraries.
YOUmedia was created to connect young adults, books, media, mentors, and institutions throughout the city of Chicago in one dynamic space designed to inspire collaboration and creativity.
I have been working with the West Lafayette Public Library to bring about similar ideas to capture the attention and patronage of the West Lafayette youth.
I believe we will have success if we offer digital media creation stations/units and a free/open software education curriculum, including a Freedom Toaster-esq station.
