All Libraries Should Have This Book... April 1, 1999
In addition to the positive Booklist review above, this book also received a glowing review in Voice of Youth Advocates August, 1998. It is an extremely useful resource for setting goals for young adult services and collection development and much more. If you are a librarian who is seeking to expand YA services in your library, this book will give you terrific information that can help you campaign for a greater commitment to young adult services!
Fantastic! August 27, 1998
Jones once again displays his vast knowledge and winning strategies for serving this all-too-often underserved population. His book is an excellent resource and inspiration for anyone interested in providing young adults with solid and beneficial service. The library community and teens are fortunate to have his insight and practice.
Excellent Resource August 25, 1997
Jones' book is a superb resource for librarians of all sorts, both those who work with young adults by choice, and those forced to work with young adults via the nature of librarianship. Jones provides a multitude of great ideas in working with, handling, and advocating for young adults. This is a definite "must-read" for all public librarians
