The authors guide both librarians and administrators to make promises for the future and present a strategy for keeping those promises so that young adult audiences can become active library and community participants. From building partnerships to implementing successful programs to incorporating technology that helps teens assume leadership and responsibility, this is an inspiring yet practical take on what it means to "get it right" for teens in the library.

The author has selected books, videos, CD-ROMs, and Web sites (about 400 total, extending through 2004) that deal with war and peace, and presented them in thematic chapters-war as history, hope and glory, costs and horrors of war, terrorism and 9/11, home front, anti-war movements, peace, and resources for adults.
