  • Enticing the Pre-YAs: Too Old for Cleary and Too Young for King. Fein, Linda Abby Childrens Libraries Childrens Literature Early Adolescents Junior High Schools Library Collection Development Library Materials Library Planning Library Services User Needs (Information) Studies show that the older a child gets the less likely he or she is to trust a librarian. To encourage pre-YAs (pre-young adults, 6th-8th graders) to use the library, librarians should consider four elements: client, librarian, library, and materials and services. Discusses these elements and suggests how to make the library more appealing to pre-YAs. (PEN)
