I think it is a really valuable tool in evaluating a library&#39;s services. As you say, reader&#39;s advisory and homework help are really not going to cut it in serving the WHOLE teen. I am going to try to keep this little diagram in my head as I think through different programming ideas. You&#39;re right: it&#39;s a call to action! We can&#39;t assume other institutions and programs are meeting these critical information needs, it is the library&#39;s role to make sure it is proactively responding to youth info needs in all of their complexity.Joe Coylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07372874724979220717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921711515655185994.post-47803126870135002132012-10-16T21:50:44.086-05:002012-10-16T21:50:44.086-05:00When I worked at a small public library in Illinoi...When I worked at a small public library in Illinois many years ago, it always alarmed me how disrespectful some of the staff was towards the teens who hung out at the building. There was no teen library available at that time, only an adult and children&#39; area, so the teens would often gather in the rotunda or stairwell, only to be kicked out for &quot;loitering&quot;. I always felt sympathetic that we didn&#39;t have a space designed to benefit them, or services tailored for their needs, and instead sent them away. Unfortunately, I think have heard similar things from other librarians as well... spalmer2http://www.blogger.com/profile/17909075464876061233noreply@blogger.com
