Author

Yoke, Beth

Abstract

Federal, state, and local governments are pouring money into programs and initiatives that were mandated by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). An important additional step to take is to demonstrate to administrators, faculty, and parents that the library program and its collection is aligned with the goals of NCLB and is striving to play an active part in ensuring that those goals will be met in the school.

Abstract

Traditional library summer reading programs do not meet many of the needs of today's youth because both the demographics of youth and the environment in which they live haschanged significantly over the past generation. Libraries must evolve in order to address these newer needs, which include but are not limited to building 21st century skills for the workplace, improving English language skills, and having a safe space to explore their passions and interests. Libraries can boost their relevance and impact by working with community partners to expand their efforts beyond summer reading in order to identify and meet the particular needs of the youth in their community. In addition, library staff must gain skills in facilitating hands-on, informal learning for and with youth and their families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
