MyOwnCafe.org Goals
• To more effectively publicize library resources to teens and families.
• To offer member libraries who lacked the funds or personnel to maintain a website that served the educational and recreational needs of 13-18 year-old youth in the Southeastern Massachusetts Region.
• To create opportunities for teens to interact with library staff, initiate youth service program ideas and work with other local teens to develop a dynamic library community.

Teen participation has been critical at every stage of the project
The web developers conducted teen surveys and focus groups before making recommendations.
Between meetings, teens continued participation through a team blog.
A Teen Advisory Group met in person and via chat during the site’s development.
