Teen Tech Week

OPL celebrates technology and teens during Teen Tech Week (TTW), from March 4-10. It’s an initiative aimed at teens who are interested in the Library’s non-print resources. During this week, OPL wants to raise awareness about all its digital offerings, including e-Books, audio-books, OPL blogs and the OPL apps, by launching its second annual video contest.
