Media Mentorship

Why media mentorship? Over 75% of households own digital media. Over 72% of youth 0-8 have used digital media. 71% of public libraries use new media in youth programs & services. 40% have tethered devices, 39% use in storytime. 22% offer device mentoring.

ALSC’s White Paper Libraries serving youth need to have media mentors. Media mentors support kids & families (objectively). Library schools need to train for media mentorship. Professional development needs to include media mentorship.
