<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk206768480">The hours of 3-5pm Monday-Friday can be a busy time for libraries. This is where libraries may get an influx of young people, and an increase in behavior incidents. But this is also a time of great
potential impact, where libraries can be a safe place and reach out to teens. In this webinar you'll hear from a former teen services librarian whose library typically had 100-150 teens most days after school. She and colleagues learned from their partners
and experience how to manage these chaotic (and fun!) hours. Instructor Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, is a former teen services librarian and the Founder and CEO of Digital Respons-Ability. Register

Wikipedia is a particularly significant resource for younger generations, educators, and members of the public with a casual interest in history. Information on Wikipedia also plays an outsized role in shaping the answers generated by search engines and AI.
This makes the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of the historical content on Wikipedia vitally important.
