It is clear from both anecdotal evidence and a review of professional library literature that the primary focus of library services in detention centers is on providing recreational reading materials and encouraging literacy. While promoting literacy is a core value of every librarian as well as an important step in rehabilitating teens and preparing them to be productive community members, libraries have much more to offer teens and JDCs.
