YALSA is dedicated to supporting teens and the librarians who serve them. Our future depends on today’s teens; however, research shows that as an age group teens (ages 12 – 18) receive the least financial support. Government, philanthropic and non-profit spending directed at teens lags far behind what is invested in children (birth through 11 years) and young adults (19 and up). Libraries are in a position to help teens prepare for a successful and productive adulthood, yet they are hindered by this lack of financial support. YALSA is seeking to better equip libraries to meet teens’ needs by partnering with organizations who are committed to ensuring that teens get the help and support they need to succeed.
