In this book, you'll discover how tweens and teens lead the way in designing, planning, and running library programs with the adult support they need to see their plans through. The ideas featured in this book are ones teens themselves have brought to life for children, adults, their own peers, or even for all ages or mixed audiences.

This second edition explores the landscape of TAGs, covering funding, bylaws, program planning, and community involvement. Profiles of successful teen groups tell each group's story along with pertinent teen feedback. Sample forms, as well as evaluation advice, can be borrowed or adapted.

Combining information, inspiration, and relevant examples, this guidebook encourages and enables both school and public librarians to advocate for and incorporate active youth involvement that will develop teen self-esteem and positively connect teenagers with books, reading, and libraries, now and into adulthood.
