The Glendale Public Library page for teens is pretty plain but does a lot of things that definitely benefit their teen users. The only real weakness is the long loading times across the Library's site.
The basic page layout is the same as other sections of their library site, which is good and bad. It makes it so that teens can easily migrate from the kids’ section, to the teen, to the adult section of the site without having to learn a whole new system, but it also prevents them from having a unique and uniquely appealing space of their own. The Glendale teen section does, however, have a separate Instagram and TikTok account for their events and announcements.
The page also, rightfully, has tabs at the top of the page that appeal to teens, including homework help and volunteering opportunities. The booklists available are relevant and current, as are the great events they’re hosting.
