I am so happy to be working with the Teens at DPL. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Oneka Wilson, the teens like calling me Ms.O. I have been at Detroit Public Library for about 3 years now. I've always enjoyed reading and libraries. I grew up in Detroit and graduated from Oak Park High with the library right across the street. I have many fond memories as a teen at the library. I was always the teen being "shushed" by the librarian. Eventually, I studied English at Purdue and decided to get my Masters degree in Library Science at Wayne State University. I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Please stop in and introduce yourself at the H.Y.P.E. Teen Center. We need some great video game players for our Game Wars competitions. We will also have lots of sessions to equip you for excellence like our College Fair Forum and Debate Programs. Please leave comments about what you would like to see at H.Y.P.E. and join our Teen Advisory Board that meets the first Thursday every month at 4 pm. See you soon!
Ms. O

Teen Advisory Board Inspects H.Y.P.E.
The Detroit Public Library H.Y.P.E. Teen Center (helping young people excel) will open May 12-17, 2008. The members of the Teen Advisory Board got a chance to test drive the center after the May meeting.
Miss O showed the room and explained the equipment and services. Teens only! Access to the room will be by special Teen library card.
Steve started up the computers, games, and video.
The Advisory Board members tested everything.
The Teen Advisory Board meets the first Thursday of each month at 4:00 in the Explorers’ Room. New members are always welcome.
