• W2296918204 abstract "Introduction At a time when the United States has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the developed world and young adults are contracting HIV faster than any other demographic group in this country, it is critical for the millions of young Americans ages 12-17 to have access to accurate information about reproductive healthcare and sexuality. Recent scholarship in the field of public librarianship argues that it is the responsibility of libraries to prioritize services to adolescents and the communities in which they reside. (1) Motivated by public health concerns, the ALA and a small number of library professionals have even proposed that public libraries should more actively provide sexual-health information and education to their adolescent patrons. (2) Although there is currently no research that either confirms or refutes the efficacy of library-based sexual-health education on adolescent attitudes, knowledge, and behavior, we know that the majority of parents, teachers, and students support proven comprehensive sexuality education programs. (3) Sexuality education is a lifelong process of acquiring information and forming attitudes, beliefs, and values. It encompasses development, reproductive health, interpersonal relationships, affection, intimacy, body image, and gender roles. (4) Because many parents do not feel comfortable or knowledgeable to discuss sexuality with their children, they rely on schools, religious institutions, social networks, and media to do so. But many state and federal education funding policies limit sexual health curricula for moral and political reasons, and media sources often promote misinformation that can even contribute to early sexual activity among adolescents. (5) Unfortunately, the consequences of ignoring the sexual health needs of adolescents range from unwanted teenage pregnancies and heightened incidences of sexual assault and transmission rates of sexually transmitted infections to lower self-esteem and lowered lifetime educational attainment and economic productivity. Accordingly, many public and private organizations have begun to lend their support and services to develop sex education programs and opportunities for young adults. The Boy Scouts of America, Planned Parenthood, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation are just a few examples of organizations that seek to work with families and communities to improve the sexual health and identity of young people to ensure their growth and success. In their 2003 guide Teens and Libraries: Getting It Right, Virginia Walter and Elaine Meyers explain that it has only been in the past twenty years that public libraries have begun to articulate the mission of their institutions as vital spaces in modern society. As a result of becoming more data and market driven in their approach to service, public libraries have learned more about the teens in their neighborhoods. Libraries are also starting to consider a new role as a primary support institution within their communities. This role acknowledges the strengths of libraries as neutral, safe public spaces and inquires how staff can support youth and provide new opportunities for them to grow and contribute to their community. (6) While libraries are engaged in a number of youth directed services, including technology and literacy education, a 2005 literature review of public library services revealed little evidence that public libraries promote sexual health education. American public libraries have been repositories for sexuality materials since the early 1880s; however, they have generally housed these materials under restricted circulation. During the past century, the controversy regarding sex materials in public libraries has grown to mirror that over sex education in public schools. Political and religious conflicts over abortion, homosexuality, and birth control, and media discussions about sexual abuse and pornography have confused library professionals about their role in providing open access to sexual-health information in their libraries. …" @default.
