Studies show that young adult interest in public libraries is on the decline. However, many programs have been implemented to rekindle the former spark. As young adult literature makes a dramatic comeback from its 1990's "rut", adolescents are becoming more inclined to read for recreation. Publishing houses and literary agents have already hopped onto the growing YA trend; advertising and pitching new ideas at the young masses in forms of media that appeal most to them. What more can the public library do to continue to encourage this trend as well, and bring more youths into the library and trigger a thirst for literature?
In this blog, I will discuss and research the current trends in YA literature and different programs, activities, etc. formulating, or tried and true used to encourage youth to spend more time with their noses in books, and visiting their local public library to do more than beat the heat.
