| Abstract: | This article provides examples of event planning and programming provided for youth groups (middle school or high school students), and it offers tips to giving younger students a hands-on, educational, and entertaining academic library experience. Buy-in from administration is important, and the inclusion of all library staff will turn what could be an overwhelming task for a single librarian into a team building, uplifting event for everyone involved. |
