Synopsis:

Giving teens a "room of their own" in the library - one that's fun, trendy, and unlibrary-like - is a sure-fire way to draw this important and fast-growing population in. Teen Spaces outlines a step-by-step plan for creating a brand new space or making over an existing one. Drawing from surveys and her own personal teen advisory panel. YA design authority Kim Bolan Taney shows you how to turn a ho-hum room into a casual teen hangout, a cozy study room, or an engaging activity room. Hanging beads, funky wall art, teen-developed murals and collages, snow globes, mini Zen gardens, aquariums, fun-house mirrors - these are all ideas in the book that will get you thinking. Packed with ready-to-use tools. Teen Spaces presents: - "TIPS" on best words to describe being a teenager, most common stuff found in teenage lockers, most frequently visited teen Websites, and more - An inventory checklist that will help you to involve these young customers so they feel like the space is theirs - A list of "10 Most Wanted" items for every teen space - Space planning and budget worksheets that help you to make changes on any budget - The Do's and Don'ts of naming your space In no time and with little money, you'll find yourself collecting near trinkets from flea markets, glue-gunning fabric on old furniture, and making use of those free posters in teen magazines. With before and after photos of 12 real-life YA areas, handy checklists and worksheets, and a comprehensive Web and print resource directory, you will be amazed at what you can create with a little imagination and some help from your teen friends!
