• W2724366906 abstract "According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 41,731,233 young people ages 10-19 living in the United States in 2015. (1) That's roughly thirteen percent of the total U.S. population. Yet, teens are often underserved and underrepresented in public libraries. The reasons why are both frustrating and sometimes predictable. Deficiencies related to funding can play a large role in reducing or eliminating services for teens. Whether it's scarcity of resources, a reduction in open hours, or the absence of dedicated teen-serving staff, some public libraries have found themselves struggling to provide even minimal services for teens. In addition to these challenges, at times there is also resistance in providing services for this age group simply because of perceptions people have about teens. Behaviors such as talking loudly, extreme fashion choices, engaging in horseplay, etc., can cause a great deal of frustration for staff and library customers, resulting in a lack of support for programming and services that keep teens in the library. Despite these challenges, there are still many passionate librarians working in public libraries across the country whose drive to work with teens compels them to find ways to overcome these obstacles so they can provide valuable and much-needed programming for this often perplexing age group. The struggle comes in how to prevail in spite of the difficulties. It can be hard to convince those resistant to teen services of their value, but purposeful and thoughtful advocating for young adults can be a powerful tool. The question then becomes how do we advocate effectively? Fortunately there is a great deal of evidence backed up by compelling research that supports the many benefits of having teen services in libraries. By looking at current research, this article will address why offering teen services in public libraries is so important. It will consider the impact that developing programs and services in direct line with the emotional and social needs of this age group can have on participants. It will also address the importance of partnering with other teen-serving organizations within the community, highlight the many benefits such relationships offer the library, and explore ways in which library staff can effectively advocate locally and nationally for teen services. Research and Teens As community-minded organizations with missions ranging from enriching lives and creating lifelong learners to nurturing a thriving community, public libraries are a natural space to foster unique and much-needed services for young adults. In order to understand how libraries can positively affect the lives of teens through programming and services, it's important to first understand what it is that they need and why they need it. According to The Teen Brain: Still Under Construction, a publication released by the National Institute of Mental Health, teenage brains experience extensive changes throughout adolescence. Once believed to reach maturity in childhood, we know how the human brain experiences significant growth and change throughout adolescence (https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/ publications/the-teen-brain-stillunder-construction/index.shtml). Studies have shown that at the time of adolescence the area of the brain most fully developed is the part responsible for instinctual reactions and emotional responses; while the area responsible for managing more complex thoughts like reasoning, long-term planning, impulse control, judgment, and anticipating consequences is not yet fully mature until our early twenties. So what does this mean? In short, teens don't think like adults. How they make sense of the experiences they have and the environment that they grow up in can have a significant impact in shaping their future behavior. In the late 1990s, the Search Institute, a Minnesota-based organization dedicated to researching what it takes for young people to succeed, developed a list of assets or experiences that children and teens must have to grow into healthy, responsible, and well-rounded adults. …" @default.
