Known as the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants, Tom Kenny lends his support to teens, libraries and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) through downloadable public service announcements (PSAs) announcing Teen Tech Week, March 8 – 14. The PSAs are courtesy of Galaxy Press, a 2009 Teen Tech Week Promotional Partner.
Kenny has created six 30-second PSAs, in which he details the many free technological resources available at the library. Librarians can download the PSAs at www.ala.org/teentechweek and use them to raise awareness in their communities about Teen Tech Week. They can be played over school announcements or provided to a local radio station to use.
“The PSAs featuring Tom Kenny are an asset to any library's Teen Tech Week publicity,” said Sarah Cornish Debraski, YALSA president. “Best of all, they emphasize the multitude of free things to do and get at any library, no matter where it is located. YALSA is thrilled that Tom Kenny and Galaxy Press created these PSAs for us and appreciate their support of Teen Tech Week and libraries.”
Administered by YALSA, the fastest-growing division of the American Library Association, Teen Tech Week™ is an opportunity for libraries to showcase the many free tech resources available to teens, including audiobooks, online homework help, gaming and much more.
