Hi! My name is Jennifer or Jenni to a select few, and as you may know I am the Children’s Specialist at the Ridgeland Public Library. I host the Ridgeland TAB (Teen Advisory Board) and the RPL Anime Club. I welcome you to this blog and as I really have no idea how to start this off. I’ll tell you about a few things I was thinking about discussing…

EVERYTHING!

Music, BOOKS, Movies, BOOKS, Video Games, BOOKS, Computers, BOOKS, Schools, Jobs, BOOKS, and more. I’d really like your input on what gets discussed so let me know what you think. I want your opinions and ideas. If it’s really good, I might use it. If it’s not so good, I might use it. This is your website and I want you to be involved in what’s on it.

The teen website got it’s theme from a song by Switchfoot, called “Stars”. I was trying to think of a theme for the podcast and remembered the line “Looking up at the stars”. “Looking Up” had such a library lean to it that I couldn’t help but use it. It also can mean a lot of things other than looking up books. So, when deciding on the theme Jason Moore (Assistant Systems Administrator/Public Information Officer), Martha Womack (Youth Services Coordinator), and I decided on a book theme. The blog is going to encompass everything else on the site in a brief format so, the name “The Summary” was born.

There you have it: the birth of the teen site and this blog. Let me know what you want the next “Summary” to be about. As I said before, this is YOUR site, we want your opinions on it. We’ll talk about what else you can do to get your opinions out at a later date.

Catch you later!

Jenni
