Enticing the Pre-YAs: Too Old for Cleary and Too Young for King.

Fein, Linda Abby

Catholic Library World, v66 n4 p22-25 Jun 1996

Studies show that the older a child gets the less likely he or she is to trust a librarian. To encourage pre-YAs (pre-young adults, 6th-8th graders) to use the library, librarians should consider four elements: client, librarian, library, and materials and services. Discusses these elements and suggests how to make the library more appealing to pre-YAs. (PEN)
