Book Review: Real-World Teen Services

Abstract

Author Jennifer Velasquez is a twenty-year veteran of teen services, a frequent speaker and consultant in the discipline, and a lecturer at San Jose State University’s School of Information. Her extensive experience working directly with teens and speaking on their behalf is clear throughout Real-World Teen Services. The book highlights barriers that teen advocates often encounter and offers clear direction on how to diplomatically yet emphatically insist on the rights of teens as library users.
