School and public libraries often provide programs and activities for children in preschool through the sixth grade, but there is little available to young adults. For them, libraries become a place for work—the place to research an assignment or find a book for a report—but the thought of the library as a place for enjoyment is lost. So how do librarians recapture the interest of teenagers? This just might be the answer. Here you will find theme-based units (such as Cartoon Cavalcade, Log On at the Library, Go in Style, Cruising the Mall, Space Shots, Teens on TV, and 44 others) that are designed for young adults. Each includes a display idea, suggestions for local sponsorship of prizes, a program game to encourage participation, 10 theme-related activities, curriculum tie-in activities, sample questions for use in trivia games or scavenger hunts, ideas for activity sheets, a bibliography of related works, and a list of theme-related films. The units are highly flexible, allowing any public or school library to adapt them to their particular needs.

The school counselor and related mental health professional is provided with structural curricula for treating twelve specific problem areas of children, with step-by-step guides for planning and conducting therapy. Over 150 assessment instruments, 120 session themes, 30 techniques and 150 related resources greatly reduce planning and research time. While written primarily for children counselors, the book is easily adapted by speech/language pathologists, art therapists, and for training the beginning therapist. The book targets children at risk with emotional problems but covers secondary difficulties: physical handicaps, neurological impairments, learning disabilities, hyperactivity, mental retardation, or a combination of these.
