Summary: Useful for libraries, schools, book stores
Review: This title is a standout in the proliferation of books about young adult services right now. As a teen librarian at a public library, I found many practical display ideas I could use right away. Adult Readers' Departments or School Media Centers will also find a great deal of useful, practical information here, too, including photos of display furniture, and strategies for ongoing teen appeal. Nichols presents the information in a interesting and realistic way that is a refreshing change from some library professional guides! This is a must have for any facility that wants to attract teens to books!
