Craig, A. & McDowell, C.L. (2013). Serving At-Risk Teens: Proven Strategies and Programs for Bridging the Gap. Chicago, IL: Neal-Schuman.
Working with at-risk teens is a rewarding and often challenging
endeavor. You know there’s a need for library services that specifically
reach this underserved population, but you don’t have the background
information, administrative support, or the right resources at your
disposal to get the job done. Based on best practices, practical
suggestions and personal experiences from many leaders in the field
today, Library Services for At-Risk-Teens: Bridging the Gap
connects you with accessible and affordable programming ideas and
ready-to-use templates, techniques, and tools to help you better serve
this population, including teens who are homeless, incarcerated, or in
foster care. You’ll also learn how to gain support from library
administration and community leaders as well as build meaningful
relationships with the facilities designed to care for these
disconnected youth.
This newest addition to the Teens @ the Library series will provide you
with the resources you need to successfully serve disconnected youth in
your community. (book description)
