Working with at-risk teens, including those who are homeless, incarcerated, or in foster care, is a rewarding but often challenging endeavor, especially with a growing number of at-risk teens in both urban and rural areas of the country.

McDowell, this book shows how libraries and communities can work together to find new ways to serve this population. Packed with accessible and affordable programming ideas, ready-to-use templates, and techniques, this addition to the Teens at the Library series:

  • Demonstrates why serving at-risk teens is important, and offers advice for gaining institutional support for outreach services

  • Shows how to understand the needs of at-risk teens, including a discussion of the factors that place teens at risk

  • Examines diversity within the at-risk population

  • Suggests ways to partner with youth facilities, with real-world examples of working with non-library personnel and caregivers

  • Provides guidance for collection and resource development
