Reviews:
-Drawing on her experience as a librarian in both schools and public libraries, Miller provides sound guidance....[P]rovides quick and useful information to new librarians and staff working with teens, and it is especially helpful to those working in smaller public libraries, where resources and funding is often limited. The book may also be useful for providing an administrator with a quick overview of the requirements and benefits of a teen program. The down-to-earth manner and sensible approach make this book widely accessible. —VOYA
-Miller has put together this useful title that provides basics, best practices, and readers advisory for teen and young adult librarians in both school and public library settings. Intended as a starting point for those new to teen services as well as a tickler for those with more experience, this crash course starts with acquainting the reader with the audience -- teens -- and works its way through all the services that impact this increasingly visible and vocal group of library users....Designed to be dipped into (Help! I need a teen program fast!) or read cover to cover, anyone involved with working with teens or charged with developing the space, resource or attitude to serve them will appreciate having Miller's book on hand. —Colorado Association of Libraries
