| contents | Evaluation of the Role of the State Library of Florida in Youth Services. Executive Summary. Johnson, Debra Wilcox Children Library Planning Library Role Library Services Public Libraries User Satisfaction (Information) Users (Information) Young Adults Youth Programs This executive summary reports on the findings from the State Library of Florida's "Evaluation of Statewide Youth Services Program" project. The project was designed to assist the State Library of Florida in developing a long-range plan for youth services and to link the public library effort to "Blueprint 2000," the Florida education goals, and the federal educate America Act: Goal 2000. In addition, the project provides a profile of the local public libraries' needs in youth services. This executive summary highlights findings from the data collection and the overall recommendations. Various data sources used are outlined: focus groups, questionnaires, State Library documents, and staff interviews. Highlights concerning the state of youth services in Florida public libraries are provided from data gathered from both the librarian and client (parents and caregivers, young adults, and children) focus groups. Questionnaire results highlights include: critical needs in youth services, youth statistics, collaborative activities, staffing, and access. Staff interviewees recommended various roles for the State Library: communicating; training; advocacy; networking; consulting; and collaborating. The following themes arose from both focus groups and questionnaires, and are summarized in this report: satisfaction and importance ratings; use of State Library services; ways the State Library can help; and priorities for the State Library of Florida. Nine general recommendations on State Library youth services and three recommendations related to the LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) long-range plan are listed. (MAS) |
