The policies that make up children's services must be guided by imagination and insight. Mae Benne covers fully the organizational policies and patterns that accompany professional services. Her discussion of purely administrative and organizational matters is comprehensive - one that recognizes client need as motivating organizational possibilities. She translates theory before organizations meet children's needs, children's librarians must recognize them into practice.

the findings are presented of 1994 surveys on services and resources for children and young adults (ages 12-18) in public libraries. Each survey was conducted with a different nationally representative sample of public libraries. Data was collected for individual buildings rather than for library systems. Findings indicate the following: (1) children and young adults represent 60% of public library patronage; (2) 30% of public librarians specialize in youth services; (3) 39% of libraries employ a children's librarian, 11% have a young adult librarian, and 24% have a youth services specialist on staff; (4) 30% of all public libraries have only one librarian on staff; (5) ethnic diversity of children and young adult patrons has increased over 40% in the last 5 years; (6) computer technologies are among the most heavily used children's and young adult resources in public libraries and are also the most scarce; (7) many library programs primarily target preschool and kindergarten children; (8) only 76% of public libraries report working with schools; (9) only one in seven libraries offer homework assistance programs; (10) 11% of public libraries have neither a young adult collection or section; and (11) insufficient library staff is a leading barrier to increasing services and resources for children and young adults. Survey data is provided in 21 tables and 14 figures. Appendices present survey methodology and data reliability, a list of tables with standard errors, and survey forms. (AEF)

This practical guide for planning and implementing children's services has been completely updated and revised, reflecting the enormous changes in our society and the library profession. Organized along the same lines as the first edition, the book covers management within the department, the relationship between the children's department and the larger institution, and community relations. Fasick addresses topics ranging from service plans, goals and objectives, policies, and procedures to special events, emergencies, budgets, funding efforts, staff, patrons, communication, and public relations. This revised edition contains new material on writing grant proposals, fund-raising, staff recruitment and training, organizing Internet services, and planning a Web site. Sections on services to homeschoolers, self-care children, and disabled persons have also been expanded. An indispensable professional guide for children's librarians, this book can also be used as a text in library and information studi
