Here is a guide that provides basic information to help teen/youth services librarians, library directors, library school students studying teen services, and middle/high school librarians examine all aspects of their teen programs and services to determine where improvement is needed. Find out what you need to develop goals and objectives for evaluation, and learn how to collect the data that will give you a realistic picture of your library’s strengths and weaknesses. You will get practical examples of how to use many different types of data: numerical and subjective data, output measures, user data, circulation and collection statistics, policies and procedures, strategic plans, community needs assessments, budget statistics, program information, facility information, data about training and staff development. Start implementing your program using the data you’ve collected to make changes to your assessment plan, support your case for improved teen services, and plan for future teen services. You’ll also learn to evaluate YA collections, teen summer reading programs, special events, and library staff. This guide comes with an explanation of the YALSA competencies, the YALSA teen services evaluation tool, and models for what excellent teen services programs should look like. Ready-to-use evaluation forms and checklists save precious time and resources and get your assessment geared up in minutes. Sarah Flowers is the president of YALSA and former chair of a YALSA task force to develop an assessment tool for library administrators and teen services librarians to use in order to evaluate an individual institution’s overall level of success in providing library services to teens. She worked for fifteen years as a librarian and manager at the Santa Clara County Library in California.

More teenagers than ever turn to librarians and teachers to ask private questions they are too afraid to share with family and friends. This book offers any librarian a quick primer on talking with young adults about the tough and often controversial topics of sex, drugs, alcohol, and violence. You’ll have quick overviews on the issues themselves as well as tips for navigating these waters with teens. Each chapter offers background information on a particular topic followed by real-world strategies for supporting teens who may ask for help, often indirectly. Chapters include sex, sexuality, homelessness, tattoos and piercing, dating violence, abuse, drugs and alcohol, emotional and mental health, and the juvenile justice system. Within these chapters, you’ll find answers to specific questions about maintaining online sexual health resources, creating passive health displays, working in a school or community with abstinence-only values and/or curriculum, creating positive atmospheres for healthy discussions, making the library a safe space for everyone, and maintaining teen privacy when other teens speculate about a certain situation – real strategies for the issues teenagers face every day. You’ll also learn how to develop protocol for all of the above situations, notice signs of abuse, report to the proper authorities, develop partnerships with agencies inside and outside the justice system, and provide much-needed mental health resources in a confidential way. With a straightforward, conversational style, mk Eagle, YALSA blog manager and high school librarian in Holliston public schools in Massachusetts, gives you the tools to answer any question for teens to support their mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
