Greenwood Publishing Group : A Passion for Print

Reviews:

-[A] wonderful resource for librarians, whether they are of the YA variety or just hoping to interact more positively with teens and encourage them to use libraries. This book is indeed passionate on the topic of service to yough and there is an abundance of information and many ideas between its covers for attracting and keeping youth in the library. Mahood writes a highly readable book that may be studied carefully from cover-to-cover or immediate guidance about specific topics, chapters or sections may be sought using the detailed table of contents and index. Mahood's book is thorough in its attention to detail and advice on how to make your library, whether big or small, welcoming and attractive to young adults. Whether your library has its own YA Librarian or only one Librarian, A Passion for Print can guide you in jump-starting services and programming for YAs or reinvigorating what is already in place. —Partnership: the Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Resear

-Mahood targets public libraries, but her information and suggestions are equally valid for secondary school libraries and can be easily adapted to educational settings. She presents many new insights and unique approaches, and the volume will have value for both new and experienced librarians who want to stay abreast of current trends among their teenage patrons. —Reference & User Services Quarterly

-Impressive in its organization and depth of information, this great resource covers practically everything young adult for the public or high school librarian....The authors' passion for print and for teens is evident in the writing and the research that has been done to pull this handy little book together. One can strongly recommend it to seasoned veterans trying to keep on top of current trends or new young adult librarians interested in finding ways to guide teens to literature or literature to teens. Order one for work and another one to keep at home. —VOYA
