Teen Lit Boot Camp is a series of month-long workshops zeroing in on currently popular topics. The workshops will help librarians learn what defines hot topics, what the best titles are to meet demand, and how to anticipate and select for your teen fans. In this workshop, we’ll look at a perennially recurring question: does gender matter in teen lit? Are there really girl books and boy books? How far should our responsibility to our teens go in ensuring our collections reflect their gender identities, questions, and voices? We’ll examine the recent debates concerning boys becoming reluctant readers once the teen years arrive, the challenge and importance of writing across gender lines, and the possibilities of moving beyond thinking of titles as “guy” or “girl” titles. We will also discuss the stereotypes surrounding gendering titles, the redefining of what gender means in teen literature, and how to pitch titles to fans without falling into traps of gendered thinking. There will be a reading list, so sign up early to give yourself time.

Instructor: Robin Brenner is a Reference/Teen Librarian, Brookline, MA.
