Excellent Resource
Rating (5)
Date: 1997-08-25
Jones' book is a superb resource for librarians of all sorts, both those who work with young adults by choice, and those forced to work with young adults via the nature of librarianship. Jones provides a multitude of great ideas in working with, handling, and advocating for young adults. This is a definite "must-read" for all public librarians
