Rezensionen / Stimmen

[P]rovides in-depth information....This title is a welcome addition for the professional collections of media specialists and librarians who are looking to expand health-information resources and services for youth. * VOYA * Beginning with a history of the connection among the simultaneous rise of the American public library, public education, and government involvement in public health during the Progressive Movement of the 19th and 20th centuries, the authors then move on to talk about the role of youth librarians in providing access to health resources. The information is geared toward serving all library patrons, but the emphasis is on underprivileged communities. Using collaboration as a model, they describe how the youth-oriented library is a key element in the effort to provide access to consumer information, serve youth clinics, and disseminate material about available community services. The chapter on collection development is particularly useful. Also important is the one that focuses on censorship, the law, and the role of the librarian in protecting the right of youth to the information they need. * School Library Journal *
