CHICAGO — For many teens, reading isn’t confined to the printed page; more devices support a variety of applications and other access mechanisms for connecting teens with a range of content. Join Wendy Stephens as she discusses the latest in e-readers in YALSA’s July 14 webinar, to be held at 2 p.m. EDT.

This webinar will address strategies for librarians providing access to both free and subscription-based texts and technical and logistical support for teens reading on the screen, be it a computer, mobile device or dedicated e-reader. Youth services professionals will consider ways to maximize the e-reading experience, experiment with free resources and bridge the digital divide with the lowest-common denominator file format.

Registration is now open at www.ala.org/yalsa/webinars.  Webinars cost $29 for students, $39 for individual YALSA members, $49 for all other individuals and $195 for groups (unlimited participants).
