| Abstract: |
This manual provides strategies for developing young adult collections, outlines a reading club designed specifically for young adults, suggests promotional ideas for the young adult reading club and young adult programming in general, and provides age-appropriate ideas for both formal and passive programming. Specific topics covered in the section on programs for young adults include: teen volunteers and teen advisory boards; a teen poetry workshop; teen talk book discussion; a readers' theater program; Web crawling; origami and story telling; money for school; a mystery role-playing game; and a mini game convention. Also included are a short booklist of fun summer reads for young adults and a bibliography of resources in all formats that are cited throughout the manual. (MES) |
