Welcome!

Hello!

My name is Laura, referred to as Miss Laura by many of our young library patrons.

What's Up? Magazine was designed and compiled through the Library System of Lancaster County's "What's Up with the Library?" Program at the Lancaster County Youth Intervention Center (YIC) in Pennsylvania. My fellow "What's Up?" staff member Joan and I created this publication for teens by teens. In our program, we travel to the YIC twice a month to encourage young residents to read, write, and enjoy the free services the public library has to offer.

This blog is a place where we will share writing and art created by any young adults and residents at the YIC, encourage creative writing among youth and teens, provide constructive criticism for each other and our writing, and share our ideas and thoughts about life, books, and libraries!

I look forward to blogging with you!
