<a href="http://www.ala.org/teenread">www.ala.org/teenread</a>. We’re encouraging libraries to reach out and engage teens who don’t normally come to the library, whether they’re homeless, in foster care, recent immigrants or some other segment of the community.
Reaching some of these groups can be a challenge, but YALSA has resources to help on our wiki:
