We celebrated four successful Teen Lock-ins at four of our branches: College Rolando, Malcolm X, Point Loma and Rancho Penasquitos. Each branch had anywhere from 25-30 teens, and held similar/different activities that suited the teens in their respective communities. Activities included: duct tape purses, wallets; origami; button-making; kinect; video gaming; music; dancing; and playing guitars and drums. Teen feedback was for the most part, very positive.

All the photos were great fun to see. I recommend perusing them when you get a chance. Here are a few highlights that I especially enjoyed:
- the human pyramids–check out the Alexander page
- ninja poses by the Indian Land teens
- great roller coaster pics
- Florence teens had some cool jump(ing) shots
- Kirkwood teens were quite clever, particularly with their headstands
- and it’s not often you see chess and football depicted in the same photo (Mammoth sports)
Thanks to everyone who participated. I enjoyed this event and learned so much from the experience. It was fun to connect with other small libraries and share the planning and implementation. And I’m glad we have this site that demonstrates how much fun we humans can have–no barrel required!
