Today kicks off YALSA's (Young Adult Library Services Association) Teen Tech Week, which runs from today through March 12th. Teen Tech Week is a national initiative aimed at teens, librarians, educators, parents, and other concerned adults that highlights non-print resources at the library.

To celebrate, the Santa Clara City Library is sponsoring an Internet Scavenger Hunt, where you have a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card. Pick up the form at the Youth Services Desk or online, complete the 15 questions, and return it to the desk or email your answers to nchoi@santaclaraca.gov by March 12th. A winner will be chosen from a drawing of all qualified entries. Winners will be notified by email or phone. (To qualify for the drawing, scavenger hunts must be completed and have at least 10 answers correct.)
