In collaboration between the Seguin Public Library and The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University, I gained experience designing and leading a teen services program named The Demigod Files. The program was centered around the author, Rick Riordan's various young adult series which are based on diverse mythologies. This collaboration was an effort to cultivate an interest, in teens from the ages of 11-19, in archives by creating a connection between their favorite series and the Wittliff Collections' Rick Riordan Papers. Through the program, the teens were provided opportunities to learn about archives while viewing and handling materials from the archival collection. This capstone was an irreplaceable experience that prepared me with skills that are valuable in conducting future outreach programs within the field.
