Serving Older Teens (Libraries Unlimited Professional Guides for Young Adult Librarians Series)
Anderson offers some great advice about planning teen programs (often at little or no cost). She suggests books that address such topics as driving, death, depression, college, financial management, and more, as well as how to find people who might present these programs. The last few chapters were written by experts on the subjects: Amy Alessio on teen spaces that will attract older teens, Patrick Jones on the reading interests of older teens, Anderson herself on realistic fiction, Kristine Mahood on booktalking, and Robyn Lupa on nonprint collections. A valuable resource for YA librarians.–Marlyn K. Beebe, City of Long Beach Public Library, CACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
