Even the Cool Kids Like Pictures!

In looking through various library sites for information about young adult services, I stumbled upon the Voice of Youth Advocates' (or VOYA) chronology of Young Adult Library Services History (you can find the link here. To the right, you will see a copy of the Young Adult Alternative Newsletter, which started in 1973.



To the left is a picture, also from the VOYA site, showing kids and teens surrounding the Book Wagon of Pratt Library. I included it because it shows how far we have come! Libraries are available now to all sort of segments of society - many inner city neighborhoods boast impressive libraries these days.


These images are important to my topic because it is important to know how and where youth services began and its history before I try to implement my own plans! Another librarian could have had the same idea and saw it did not work. Knowing where you came from is essential to know where you are going.
