to send one-way mass text messages (or e-mails) to teens who are interested in text message program reminders. I work in a rural area with limited Internet access and a high poverty rate. All of the teens on my advisory board have basic cell phones, but other
social media use seems to vary widely from teen to teen. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Maybe that’s why teens seem to use text messaging more widely than Facebook or other forms of Internet-based social media? It doesn’t matter if you have a smartphone
or a data plan or a wifi connection or some other device with Internet access. Even the most basic cell phones can send text messages to anyone, from anywhere. Plus, they’re small enough to be easily carried around in your pocket or backpack.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

more information before trying it, let me know!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">The teens do seem to use Facebook still, but it has been trending downward. I’ve quizzed my Teen Library Council about this several times and they say they’re using Tumblr, Pinterest
and Instagram a lot, but they still seem to be using Facebook more. I think it’s just become so integrated they barely notice. The social networking they seem to use the most is texting. While there are still teens without cell phones, those that do have them
text all the time and use them as IM machines. I struggled to come up with a handy way to contact Teen Library Council members until I started using gmail to text them.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I've been just learning about teens moving away from Facebook as a social networking tool of choice, and wondered if you have found this to be the case of teens in your libraries? And, if so, if they are talking
about other online hang-outs or social media tools that they're using?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I've found some interesting articles, like <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/jwherrman/are-teens-abandoning-social-networks">
this one</a> and <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/10/facebook-still-reigns-supreme-with-teens-but-social-media-interest-dwindling/">
this one</a>, about national trends, but wondered about connecting with local teens and their trends. Any insight for a n00b librarian??<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
