I Want My MP3

How much do I love that the headline for J. Marin Younker's recent musings on how to age gracefully in teen librarianship is a riff on the old timey "I Want My MTV" tagline? So much.

It should come as no surprise that I love Younker's suggestions, too, many of which echo the exhortations you often read at this very blog -- strike up casual conversations with teens, keep up with sports, learn about video games, read teen-friendly music magazines like Rolling Stone, SPIN, and VIBE, know what movies & TV shows teens like, read Ypulse to stay on top of trends, and my favorite, Think Like A Correspondent for Entertainment Weekly!

I feel a congratulatory Letter to the Editor coming on.
