  • The Junior High Years, a Profile. Jacobson, Nancy Adolescents After School Programs Athletics Junior High School Students Junior High Schools Leisure Time Library Surveys Listening Habits Reading Habits Recreational Activities Recreational Reading School Libraries Student Characteristics Surveys Television Viewing To determine the reading, listening, and general habits of junior high school students, a survey was conducted in the spring of 1970 in a suburban junior high school under the direction of the school library. The results are compiled in a series of charts which include: home audiovisual equipment; time spent watching television; free time activities; participation in sports; use of school libraries; number and kinds of books read; and names and number of magazines read. The last chart contains student suggestions for improving the school library. The results of the survey point the way to a reanalysis of library acquisition and library improvement in a junior high school, in addition to providing a fuller understanding of the junior high school student.
