She did mention the decision is ultimately up to the youth involved in the youth council. Currently, the library uses myspace to engage the youth council and local teens. Another important detail from the meetings is the library leadership moves slow when it comes to youth issues. She mentioned one decision (don't recall the exact proposal) took over a year to resolve and implement.

Perhaps Amber can keep communication open with regard to video collaboration with Jennifer's group of teens and the May All Ages Arts Night, while we discuss larger future collaboration with the library in December. My sense in talking with Jennifer last is that she is very busy. Perhaps we can help by finding a way to provide some resources and support for them as we expand our partnership?

This is a different level of partnership, and may lead to new ideas about content-production partnering as well. Toby and I should meet with Jennifer again -perhaps early in December?
