| contents | 'Legends' Teaching and Learning with Technology in Teen Space Virginia Killian Lund Young Adults Library Role Independent Study Interests Space Utilization Peer Relationship Mentors Public Libraries Mass Media Use Library Materials Safety Adolescent Attitudes Library Personnel Participation Literacy Learner Engagement This case study explores how young adults (aged 18-24) taught and learned with and around technologies in a teen library space in Hartford, Connecticut. These young adults, called Legends by library staff, were technically not supposed to be present in the teens-only space. In this paper, I argue that Legends uniquely contributed to opportunities to learn for themselves and for teens using the space, in a way that complemented formal mentorship roles already in place. This research suggests that further attention should be given to creating spaces that are thoughtfully inclusive of models for near-peer mentorship and opportunities to learn and create with media and technology for young adults. Further, this research suggests positive youth development value in creating a continuum of opportunity and belonging in free public spaces such as libraries for young adults. |
