This exciting new book has an ambitious goal-to help libraries, with their communities, strike a true partnership with the young adults in their communities. The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) has teamed up with Patrick Jones to present a comprehensive framework for developing services to teens that are both collaborative and outcomes-driven. Packed with useful resources, including 18 real-life success stories, New Directions will help you to build a loyal constituency of teenagers who are active and engaged in all that your library has to offer. Active youth participation is the future of libraries.
