Publisher's Synopsis
In this sequel to the book that "takes teen services to a new level" (Adolescence), YA experts Amy J. Alessio and Kimberly A. Patton present entirely new content while building on the successful formula they established earlier. This volume offers several new themed book lists and read-alikes as well as appendices with reproducible handouts for the various programs. This invaluable collection includes
- A section of introductory material that includes general programming advice
- Information on teen clubs, and marketing ideas
- More than 30 programs cleverly organized around a calendar year, including several that focus on technology, with many other ideas that can be adapted year-round as needed
Following the practical suggestions laid out here, young adult librarians in public libraries, school librarians, and adult and young adult services staff serving teens can easily build a core teen audience and help attract new members to programs and to the library.
