Think YOUMedia is the latest social media teen hangout?
It is, and it's housed on the main floor of the Harold Washington Public Library, 400 S. State St., in the Digital Space for Teens.
The Digital Space offers eight desktop computers, 96 laptops, two PlayStation 3's with a library of games, and musical keyboards and a recording studio so teenagers can create music, art and poetry, or jump online and talk with peers in the secure, password-protected YOUMedia forum.

The teens work with mentors like Erica Neal, who has watched the young people bloom creatively as they come to the Digital Space regularly.
"Our goal is to draw students in so that they're comfortable hanging out in the library, and then get them to engage with the workshops and technology in the space," Neal said.
