You'll find: step-by-step instructions and easy-to-use templates; the latest information on teen spaces policies; new ways to involve teens in the space-renovation process; updated tools, worksheets, instructions, and vendor information; inspiring illustrations and discussions of what other libraries have achieved; and, best practices for developing teen spaces.Library directors, YA librarians, and school library media specialists will welcome the inspiration from hundreds of teen spaces around the world, along with hands-on suggestions for revamping their own library.
