Although more emphasis has been given to serving teens in recent years, little has been done to distinguish between and meet the specific developmental needs of this broad range of library users. In this collection, focusing on the needs of ages 11–14, notable teen experts from across the country explain how you can enhance your collection and services to accomodate and win over this important group. Topics range from understanding adolescent informational needs and building and promoting a winning collection, to creating programs with “tween” appeal. Brimming with valuable insights and fresh ideas, as well as nuts-and-bolts directions, this is a must-read for all librarians who work with young adolescents.
