Combining information, inspiration, and relevant examples, this
guidebook encourages and enables both school and public librarians
to advocate for and incorporate active youth involvement that will
develop teen self-esteem and positively connect teenagers with
books, reading, and libraries, now and into adulthood.
Teen-Centered Library Service: Putting Youth Participation into
Practice is a practical guide that can help you get teens involved
in your library-in everything from book discussions, working with
children, and author visits to collection development, community
outreach, and even fundraising. Drawing on research and best
practices, as well as anecdotes and success stories from around the
country, Diane P. Tuccillo makes the case for youth participation
and shows you how to achieve it. Carefully organized chapters focus
on reasons to make library teen participation a priority, promote
understanding of historical perspectives pertaining to library
youth participation, and examine successful and exciting ideas that
today's school and public libraries can emulate. School and public
libraries that are ready to embark on youth participation endeavors
for the first time, as well as those that want to improve or
enhance programs already in place, will benefit equally from the
information shared here. Focus boxes and quotes highlight
viewpoints and information from a variety of experts and diagrams
illustrate pertinent points and solidify the chapters Includes
forms, flyers, applications, and other promotional materials that
can be readily reproduced or adapted to various library goals and
needs Photos of real teens in action as they perform their youth
participation duties serve to inspire readers and provide examples
to emulate A bibliography enhances the informational aspects of the
book by offering further reading and references to supplement study
and application, while further reading suggestions are also
provided under various topics in each chapter
