Description: At the Glen Ellyn (IL) Public Library, youth technology librarian Christina Keasler runs tween-specific programs that range from 3-D printing to how to make fake blood to a library version of The Amazing Race , where children learn about world cultures while completing challenges such as drawing the Mona Lisa in one minute or creating an origami crane in even less time. Among other initiatives, tweens at her library are learning how to translate words into braille to make books through the Build a Better Book project, a library makerspace initiative at the University of Colorado Boulder (colorado.edu/project/bbb). Children in Arlington Heights make care packages for military members that include snacks, personal care items, and handwritten postcards. Emery became "obsessed" with organizing an involved tween program when a pair of girls told her they wanted to create an event at the library in order to earn a silver award in their Girl Scout troop.
