This report summarizes both the potential benefits and challenges learned from Wallace’s Public Libraries as Partners in Youth Development initiative. Library staff, youth-development advocates, policymakers and others can use its insights to generate support for programs that foster constructive relationships between teenagers and their local libraries.
