The library programs featured in this unique collection are those
that have been suggested, created, and led by youth with the help
and guidance of the supportive adults at their library. Many times,
librarians bring ideas to teens in hopes of getting them to buy in
and perhaps help them to run programs. In this book, you'll
primarily find a role reversal! Tweens and teens lead the way with
whatever adult information, support, and supervision they need to
see their proposals through. To accomplish this, the youth are
encouraged to create new ideas, are empowered to make decisions,
and are given control. Plus, the ideas they bring to life are not
just peer-focused. The programs, activities, and events they create
and lead can be for children, adults, or even for all ages or mixed
audiences, as well as for fellow tweens and teens. In addition to
finding a wide array of proven ideas, recommendations, and
testimonials from real tweens and teenagers, you will discover
helpful advice on using the philosophies behind allowing youth to
not only have a say but to take action; testimonials from adults
who have worked directly with youth having this level of
empowerment; suggestions on getting approval and providing funding
and other support for youth ideas; ways to evaluate such youth-led
programs; and sample forms, flyers, and other materials that can be
adapted.

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

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
