Book Synopsis

The focus of this volume is on programming library services for young adults, and the positive impact library services can have on the lives of teenagers. It takes an interested look at diverse ways of including teenagers in the challenging, modern, informational environment, and providing them with the attention and intelligent relationships that they need and deserve.

Booknews

Authors who represent large and small libraries from across the country describe creative programs for young adults. The programs vary widely in terms of cost and preparation, so that librarians can choose what activities work best in their circumstances and communities. Other sections of the book focus on ways for adults to work together to better serve this age group and on the reality of censorship. Many success stories, but no index.
