This week I visited Librarything.com and searched for "young adult." I am interested in how to get teenagers and young adults interested in reading and interested in what their public library has to offer. In my search I found a book by Patrick Jones called, Connecting Young Adults and Libraries: a how- to-do-it manual for librarians. In his book, Jones explains the need for youth space in a library, the need for youth programs and events, gives examples of programs and even explains how to go about designing youth events. Patrick Jones' books seems like a great asset to those who work with young adults or those, like me, who aspire to work as a young adult reference librarian.
Here are the tags for Patrick Jones' book:
