Same topic, different blog

Alternative Teen Services

The following excerpt is from the blog which was found through a Google blog search for teen programming in public libraries.

"How does one celebrate the life, or rather death, of the undead? With the popularity of series such as Twilight, Vampire Kisses, and Blue Bloods, throwing a vampire party is a great way to get teens excited about reading. But where to begin? In my mind, every successful party includes cake. And what better variety of cake to serve at a party devoted to blood suckers than red velvet? Even if you don't have the budget to purchase a bakery cake, you can find velvet cake mixes and mix it up yourself."

The Alternative Teen Services blog presents new ideas for teen programming along with book reviews for books geared towards young adults. Finding programs that will appeal to this age group can be difficult, and blogs such as this one can be a great resource. By sharing programs that work, librarians can help each other save precious time. This excerpt is the beginning of a post about throwing a vampire party complete with blood red cake, an idea which would appeal to readers of vampire novels such as Twilight.
