Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)

The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) is a national association of librarians, library workers and advocates whose mission is to expand and strengthen library services for teens, aged 12-18. Through its member-driven advocacy, research, and professional development initiatives, YALSA builds the capacity of libraries and library staff to engage, serve and empower teens.

"A well-presented, easy-to-read and useful resource providing programmes to be undertaken in school and public libraries to teach an awareness of other cultures ... Each programme is well thought out, very detailed and easy to follow; even if they are not followed to the letter, just having such a resource to promote lateral thinking when designing library programmes would be a bonus. I recommend this book for any public or school library both for the programmes presented and also for the thought-provoking ideas and the enthusiasm with which they are presented."
--Australian Library Journal
