Overview
Honnold, the young adult services coordinator at Coshocton Public Library in Ohio, offers another 100 teen-tested ideas that will engage young patrons through crafts, food, parties, reading and writing, and school and social life skills. Each idea provides detailed instructions for promoting and staging events and activities, and include handouts, surveys, and tips from librarians and teens, as well as b&w photos. Created by children's and young adult librarians across the country, the events and activities include a poetry cafe, a journalism boot camp, a program on banned books, and an anime club. Mail, phone, and e-mail contracts for contributors are included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OREditorials

Looking for ways to reach teens and find fun ways to program? Honnold provides a slew of activities that are organized by theme: food, crafts, parties and games, books, writing, school and life skills, etc. The ideas, all of which were submitted by librarians across the country, have collection connections (books, magazines, Web sites) that complement the program, teen comments, and the "Bottom Line"-what does it really take to do this program. One of the best programs is the "Butt Pillows," where teens can make pillows from old jeans. A list of the contributors (with contact information) and the questionnaire that the compiler sent are included. Full of practical and excellent information, this is a definite choice for any library that wants to expand its programming for teens.-Jana R.
