Teen Programming HQ logoThe HQ is a one-stop shop to find and share library programs for and with teens as well as to connect with others who plan, implement and evaluate teen programs.
The HubThe Hub's mission is to provide timely information about emerging and new practices for evaluating, selecting and curating YA materials; raise awareness about appropriate YALSA tools to facilitate innovation in teen collections; and provide resources to support their efforts to continuously improve teen collections and content curation. Content is created by YALSA members and teens.
The database provides access to all of YALSA's annual selected book and media lists, awards, and honorees. These resources are developed by YALSA members to support the collection development and readers' advisory work of library staff.

The 
Forum was a year-long grant funded effort in 2013 that brought together key stakeholders from the areas of libraries, education, technology, adolescent development and the for-profit and nonprofit sectors to explore the world of young adults and library services to this population, and ultimately produce a report which provides direction on how libraries need to adapt and potentially change to better meet the needs of 21st century teens. The "Future of Library Services for and with Teens: a Call to Action" report was published in January 2014.
