I did a general Google search for the keyword library and one of the top hits was the Internet Public Library. One division of the website called TeenSpace jumped out to me since teens will soon make a large portion of adult library users and since they have grown up with computer and technological advances as a norm.
The website is a collaboration of volunteer efforts from professional librarians, the Regents of the University of Michigan, Florida State University's College of Information and Drexel University's College of Information Science and Technology.
The site provides Homework Help, A+ Writing guides, a graphic novels guide, a freqently asked embarrassing questions section, a poetry wiki, a place to procastinate and a directory of teen-friendly websites on a wide-range of topics. I think this is an interesting way to reach teen users and promote library usage.
