<DIV>The Millennial Generation, Generation Y, Echo Boomers, Digital Natives, and
the Trophy Generation are all terms used to describe people born in the United
States between the early 1980s and the late 1990s. Shaped by a heady mix of
culture, politics, and technology, "Millennials" have had an unprecedented
exposure to mass media, pop culture, instant communication, and cultural freedom
woven together by a complex technological net. Jennifer Kushell, President
of the YSN.com (Your Success Network) and author of "Secrets of the Young and
Successful," will explore the social impact Millennials will have on our culture
and specifically on our libraries. Having worked extensively with this
powerhouse, global generation, Jennifer will answer the questions: Who are
Millennials? How do they interact with information and technology? In what ways
can our libraries better serve them as patrons, students, and staff? </DIV>
<P class=bodytext>Jennifer will be joined by Mandy McGee, Librarian and Manager
of Adult and Teen Services, and Monica Harris, Teen Services Librarian, from the
Oak Park Public Library. Please join us for an exciting discussion on
library adaptation to the changing face of our patrons. </P>
