Abstract

Youth services in public libraries have always been characterized by good intentions and commitment topatrons’ personal choice: to select, to question, and to know. The public library has changed and grown sinceits Progressive Era beginnings, and the leadership for much of this change has come from youth services librariansin their work on behalf of young library users, whether this involves summer programming or digitalmedia development. This chapter’s three scholars bring a wealth of public library experience to this endeavor,as they describe the past, present, and future of public library service to young people in the United Statesand Canada.
