Publisher Synopsis
A comprehensive how-to guide that covers all the bases from theory to practice to nitty-gritty detail...Appendixes and a thorough index round out this invaluable tool for librarians working with teens. School Library Journal, August 2005 No teacher-librarian can hope to fill all the needs for teens from the school library, so this title is highly recommended for both school and public librarians, particularly if it leads to real action, excellent programs, and a major draw for teens in the community. In times of drugs and gangs and other major problems, we cannot think of a more important mission for libraries than to help raise the teen animals around them. Bottom line: Highly recommended for teacher-librarians and public librarians. Teacher Librarian Tuccillo, who has headed up a teen advisory group (TAG) for the past quarter century, delivers a new bible for teen services. Library Teen Advisory Groups is our profession's first title about TAGs, and it will surely become one of the great touchstone works on our shelves...A must-read for library staff with an interest in youth participation and input. Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), (Yals) I highly recommend the book...this title is a well-presented and very practical guide to getting teens back into and involved in our libraries. I highly commend this title... Australian Library Journal, February 2007 In Library Teen Advisory Groups, youth expert Diane P. Tuccillo shares practical advice for librarians running such groups, including how to establish, fund, and run an advisory group, along with profiles of successful teen groups and examples of possible projects. She also includes sample missions statements, applications, membership cards, publicity flyers, and newsletters. American Libraries Tuccillo (University of Mesa Library) offers advice on starting a young adult advisory committee, suggests activities and projects for the committee, and discusses the benefits teenagers gain through their involvement. The experiences and structure of several example teen advisory councils are described, including several active in middle and high school libraries. Reference and Research Book News Read more...
