Middle school is a time of “inbetween-ness,” and the transition from childhood to adolescence can be tumultuous for even the most well-adjusted kid. The same can be true of middle schoolers in the library, unsure of where they fit in the dichotomous world of children’s and teen services. However, intentional collection development practices can help middle schoolers feel confident finding their materials and provide a sense of belonging in the library. In this session we will review the criteria and best practices Cranston Public Library uses when collecting for middle schoolers as well as discuss collection resources, display ideas, and readers advisory tools.
Presenter:

Alyssa Taft is the teen librarian at Cranston Public Library in Cranston, Rhode Island, and a former school library media specialist. She completed her MLIS at the University of Rhode Island and her professional interests include youth civic engagement, collection development, and partnerships between schools and public libraries.
