Teen Librarian as Confidante:
Knowing Where, When, and How to Draw the Line
Have you ever been asked to drive a stranded teen home after the library
has closed for the night? Has a teen ever confided to you that he self-
mutilates, has an eating disorder, or wants to come out to his parents, but
just doesn’t know how? You want to help, but when does helping cross an
ethical or legal line? A diverse panel including a library director, school
counselor, social worker, attorney, and school resources police officer will
discuss how teen librarians can help their teens while maintaining healthy
and professional boundaries with their teens. Learn what your responsi-
bilities are to your patrons, your patrons’ parents, and the library. A lively
discussion will follow the panelists’ presentations.
Presenters: Audra Caplan, Harford County (MD) Library; Michele Saliski,Monmouth County Division of Youth and Family Services Office; Jackie Gould,Media Specialist at
Clearview Regional High School; Peter Boser, Monmouth County Prosecutor.
