Outreach
Where are the teens in your neighborhood when they're not at school, home or your library? Find out and find them there. If the teens won't tell you, ask the adults--they'll be happy to let you know where mobs of teens are. Whether it's just by hanging a flier in the window of the pizza place or visiting the local community or rec center, bringing the library TO teens who aren't regular library users can open doors.
Day camps and vacation bible schools may have younger kids as campers but most will have teen counselors--make sure those teens get signed up. Get to know the non-profits in your community, especially those that work with teens and see if you can do a Summer Reading event there.
