Linda Braun

I am a consultant specializing in training and support in integrating learning into informal and formal learning environments and am an adjunct faculty member at the University of Maryland College of Information Science where I teach in the Youth Expereience Certificate Program. My consulting work includes being the project manager for two IMLS funded projects, Future Ready with the Library and Transforming Teen Services Through CE. Each of these projects is a part of the work of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). I was the project researcher for the first two phases of the Google/American Library Association Libraries Ready to Code project.

I authored eight books on topics related to libraries, technology, youth, and advocacy and am the co-author of "The Future of library services for and with teens: a call to action" and "Increasing CS Opportunities for young people."
