The webpages devoted to Teen Services in the Seattle Public Library stays true to the design of the website, with a streamlined design including a lot of white space. The photos are all tasteful and the lay out has a professional finish to it with photo corners uniformly rounded and complimentary colours throughout.
The content however, is unmistakably teen. From the home page, one can access details of upcoming programs and services, homework help, the option to contact a librarian, an interactive multi-media blog contributed to by patrons and librarians, anime club information as well as details regarding offered SAT preparation and practice exams.
Additionally, the teen area of the website includes all of the traditional content expected from a YA site including book quick picks, librarian’s recommendations, information on new items as well as teen submitted reviews.
The coolest part about the YA area for teens were the podcasts made by the teen advisory board. From recorded discussions on various topics such as marketing books for teens, to interviews with authors and artists, the podcasts are clearly organized, titled, decaled with a relevant image and briefly annotated.

Thank you! Can I correct one thing? The blog is posted to by teen volunteers and librarians, rather than patrons.
