that is popping up everywhere. What are these things and what is their purpose? Join Jennifer Velasquez, Teen Services Librarian at the San Antonio Public Library, for a discussion of QR codes. Learn how any librarian, from the tech-novice to the tech-guru,
can start using QR codes in the library at no cost. Jennifer will explain how QR codes work and will share sites where librarians can quickly and easily create their own QR Codes for free! Jennifer will share ideas and techniques on how librarians can immediately
incorporate the use of QR codes into their existing library programs, and create new programs using QR codes. Participants will learn how to affectively use QR codes to present and market programming at their library, and how QR codes can be used to build
bridges between teen created content and print and digital material in the library. Join us and learn how you can start using QR codes in your library today!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
