The policies that make up children's services must be guided by imagination and insight. Mae Benne covers fully the organizational policies and patterns that accompany professional services. Her discussion of purely administrative and organizational matters is comprehensive - one that recognizes client need as motivating organizational possibilities. She translates theory before organizations meet children's needs, children's librarians must recognize them into practice.

This practical guide for planning and implementing children's services has been completely updated and revised, reflecting the enormous changes in our society and the library profession. Organized along the same lines as the first edition, the book covers management within the department, the relationship between the children's department and the larger institution, and community relations. Fasick addresses topics ranging from service plans, goals and objectives, policies, and procedures to special events, emergencies, budgets, funding efforts, staff, patrons, communication, and public relations. This revised edition contains new material on writing grant proposals, fund-raising, staff recruitment and training, organizing Internet services, and planning a Web site. Sections on services to homeschoolers, self-care children, and disabled persons have also been expanded. An indispensable professional guide for children's librarians, this book can also be used as a text in library and information studi

the findings are presented of 1994 surveys on services and resources for children and young adults (ages 12-18) in public libraries. Each survey was conducted with a different nationally representative sample of public libraries. Data was collected for individual buildings rather than for library systems. Findings indicate the following: (1) children and young adults represent 60% of public library patronage; (2) 30% of public librarians specialize in youth services; (3) 39% of libraries employ a children's librarian, 11% have a young adult librarian, and 24% have a youth services specialist on staff; (4) 30% of all public libraries have only one librarian on staff; (5) ethnic diversity of children and young adult patrons has increased over 40% in the last 5 years; (6) computer technologies are among the most heavily used children's and young adult resources in public libraries and are also the most scarce; (7) many library programs primarily target preschool and kindergarten children; (8) only 76% of public libraries report working with schools; (9) only one in seven libraries offer homework assistance programs; (10) 11% of public libraries have neither a young adult collection or section; and (11) insufficient library staff is a leading barrier to increasing services and resources for children and young adults. Survey data is provided in 21 tables and 14 figures. Appendices present survey methodology and data reliability, a list of tables with standard errors, and survey forms. (AEF)

These standards provide measures for evaluating communities' needs for public library services, and summarize the essentials for quality service for youth and those who work with youth. New management tools, specifically guides for planning and role setting and manuals for defining output measures, the challenge of electronic access, as well as the State of New York mandate that public libraries provide Outreach Services necessitated a revision of standards. Forty-two standards are divided into the following chapters: "Philosophy of Service"; "Recommendations for Planning for Public Library Service for Youth"; "Recommendations for Staffing for Public Library Service for Youth"; "Recommendations for Service for Children"; and "Recommendations for Service for Youth Adults." Appendices include a list of the Standards; a discussion of the effect of the Americans with Disabilities Act on library services for youth; a summary of the planning process; a chart illustrating developmental characteristics of youth and their relationship to library services; the American Library Association competencies for librarians serving children and youth; recommendations on furniture and equipment for children; and minimum standards for public libraries in New York State.
