Parents parting ways? Check out www.survivingyourparentsdivorce.com
This site offers youth practical information on coping with the challenges of being the child in the middle. Writen by a divorce survivor, Max graduated from college this year. So there is life (a good one) after your parents break up.
MatthewsPlace.com is a website that is highly polished, slick, and is stuffed with the kinds of important information that GLBT teens and those who love them need. There is a page on how to come out in your particular community and a suicide prevention link among the its many offerings. A great resource for teen librarian's to have in their arsenal.

Nothing could be finer...
Greetings all,
I am in the beautiful Old North State (why it is called that, I don't know. You should ask a "good" librarian) and am currently on the road in lovely Smithfield, NC assisting in the facilitation of a workshop by Michele Gorman-uber teen librarian for PLCMC.
Michele's workshop is entitled "This Ain't Your Mama's Library." This is a must attend for anyone in teen librarianship and it would be even more valuable for everyone NOT in teen librarianship. Her points are spot-on and could assist in increasing the value of your library to your community and keeping it relevant for future taxpayers.
This job is great so far (I'm only on day 3). I've met some great YA librarians at this workshop who are passionate about providing the best for their teen customers. I LOVE THAT! Now we must assimilate the rest of library world to our way of thinking.
