La Crosse Public Library : Teen Connection
http://www.lacrosselibrary.org/teen/
This website is just as colourful as the Kenton website and yet not so messy. It is much easier on the eyes. It is also organized very well. All of the links are prominant and simply titled. Also there is an interactive element that teens will find appealing. (A rollover changes the text on a link)
T squared is an online teen newsletter. Othe links include; Book of the Month, Volunteer, Share a book, Links, and Booklists. You can also do a catalouge search, link to the library homepage and to events at the library. All of this is clearly laid out on the homepage of the website.
Share a book is interesting. It allows young adults to share their thoughts on books they have just read and other young adults can post responses. It is kind of like an online book club.
The links section contains links to some very cool homework websites, such as Bare Bones Grammar. It also has links to fun sites. For instance, one of the sites, called Gurl, is about fashion and health for girls.
This site is excellent. I thought the last site was quite good but this one is even easier to use and is also very interesting. One problem that I saw with it is that in the booklist, the titles are not hyperlinked. A person would have to backtrack and type the name into the catalouge. It isn’t a big thing just an unnecessary extra step.
