At the same time, the \"digital divide\" has shrunk for many Americans in the past decade, and libraries are expected to keep up by providing more open access to mobile technologies, digital books, and online information--certainly a formidable challenge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e Make Room for Teens!: Reflections on Developing Teen Spaces in Libraries\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a thought-provoking tool for librarians who seeking guidance in creating, maintaining, and updating young adult spaces in their libraries. The essays contained within this book discuss the topic in clear language that is free from jargon, emphasizing illustrative (and sometimes humorous) anecdotes, experiential learning, and best practices.
