Teen spaces : the step-by-step library makeover

October 15, 2009

Bolan, Kimberly.

Chicago : American Library Association, 2009.

ix, 225 p. : ill. ; 28 cm.

Teenagers have strong preferences, not all of which are driven by purely commercial culture. They need a variety of activities and subjects, spaces where they can get together, and others where they can read and study on their own. Consultant Bolan has had great success in planning library spaces for teens that carefully consider those preferences and meet facilities' needs for safety, security and organization. In this edition Bolan updates her advice about library makeovers from experience, covering the interactive needs analysis process, planning and proposing spaces that will meet those needs, designing and decorating spaces that will attract teens but not scare away other patrons, developing and delivering promotions that will pay off long-term as well as now, and creating policies and practice that will enhance the effectiveness of teen library spaces. Bolan includes vendor lists and resources. Annotation©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
