Article: Tech-savvy teens teach computer skills at library

I learned of an article: Tech-savvy teens teach computer skills at library at http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/snohomishcountynews/2004065990_techteens12n.html. Part of the article states, "When Sno-Isle Libraries opened a new Monroe Library in 2002, the staff hoped to reach out to the community with new services.
One idea was to pair up tech-savvy teenagers with senior citizens who often either didn't have a computer or didn't know what to do with the one they'd just purchased. With a small grant from the Everett Community Foundation, the library created its Tech Teens program to connect seniors with access to computers, e-mail and the Internet.
Five years later, almost 300 senior citizens in the Monroe area have gained computer literacy from local students whom librarians praise for their community service and surprising patience."

What a great idea! Be sure to check out the article for more information on this program!
