In 2007, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), created Teen Tech Week, a national initiative aimed at teens, their parents, educators, and other concerned adults. The purpose was to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of digital media—especially the non-print resources offered through libraries, such as eBooks, eReaders, databases, audiobooks, and social media—and to serve as a reminder that libraries provide a bridge across the digital divide, and are a great way to be introduced to information technology.
LA County Library expanded on the Tech Week idea, making March
Teen Tech Month
. We recognize that digital media and tools play a big part in teens’ lives, and that not all teens have access to technology at home or school, so we’re working to help teens build critical digital and tech literacy skills, which can help increase chances of success in school, and prepare learners for college and 21st century careers.
All month long, our libraries are offering programs that make tech fun and easy—like stop motion movie making, coding with Minecraft, snap circuits, robotics, wearable electronics, and more! Check out the feed on the right to find an event near you.

3 Reasons Why You Should Obey Sign Laws
|
|
Traffic signs are posted for safety, but are often ignored by even the most seasoned drivers. While ignoring some signs can result in a ticket or no consequence at all, it is important to remember the game of Russian roulette you play every time you run a stop sign. Below is a list of three compelling reasons to always follow traffic signals, even when it seems like ignoring them may have no significant effect on safety.
1. If you follow the posted rules, everyone gets the same information.
Many accidents are the result of just one careless driver, but do not make that driver you. Running a stop sign at a four-way intersection is dangerous, by following posted directions you make everyone around you safer. Signs give universal information, so do not assume everyone else on the road is paying attention. Speed limits, yield signs, and one way signs all ensure that drivers follow uniform laws and keep the roads as safe as possible.
2. Signs tell you about conditions and obstacles that are not always visible.
Some signs, like road work signs, are temporary and give drivers
important information
about the area they are driving into. Ignoring an orange sign can be fatal. Speed bumps, winding roads, animal crossings, and men at work signs are all important and often invisible obstacles that can make driving dangerous. Being mindful of the signs around you prevents unnecessary accidents.
3. It will save you money, and it may save a life.
Tickets for disobeying signs can be pricey and they are easily avoided. Following speed limits and stop signs does not only make roads safer, but also keep you from breaking the law. The six seconds you save running a stop sign is not worth the $300 fine. Even more importantly, signs keep us safe and prevent deaths. Children-at-play signs are some of the most important signs you can follow. Drivers have hit children running into the street, some claiming these little pedestrians were too short to see. Simple attention to signs can keep the drivers aware and children safe. Do not think a cautionary sign is a suggestion, it is the law and one of the most important ones out there!
