Ristau, Holly

Illinois Libraries, v70 n1 p44-46 Jan 1988

A study designed to discover reasons for reduction in public library usage by children as they reach adolescence surveyed 122 junior high students to determine where they obtain reading material, what influences selection, and whether location of young adult books in the children's section inhibits use. Ideas for promotion and improved programming are suggested. (5 references) (MES)
