* Teen E*N*E*R*G*Y* Leadership Academy Receives Award

The Homer Township Library is proud to receive a Young Adult Library Association (YALSA) Excellence in Library Service to Young Adults Award for our Teen ENERGY Leadership Academy.

This project was designed by the Homer Library Adult Service Director Alexandra Tyle (pictured at left) and consisted of ten months of quality, educational (and fun!) programs, workshops, and events designed to promote young adult leadership. The teens attained skills that will be utilized throughout their life, including undertaking a component of community service hours.

We have seen a dramatic increase in youth using the library and we are both proud and pleased to receive recognition through YALSA, as well as in our local press for our pro-active teen programming. Congratulations to Alex and to the Homer Library Staff for their dedication to this exciting new program for young adults in Homer Township!
