There is an interesting discussion going on over at the YALSA Blog, where librarians share their experiences of working with teen advisory boards. One comment that struck me as unique was Tricia Suellentrop’s. She was interviewed by members of the Teen Advisory Board before receiving her position as a Teen Librarian.

interviewing me for the Teen Librarian position My boss wanted teens to help decide who the Teen Librarian should be so they sat in on the 2nd round of interviews, listened to our booktalks and answers, and asked their own questions and deliberated afterwards. They delighted in reminding me who got me my job:)

Wow! Talk about teen involvement!
