Recenzii
"This useful hands-on guide is recommended for librarians, educators, and human-services providers with minimal programming experience working in communities that lack life-skills training opportunities."
— Library Journal
"Buckley is a public library manager who teaches classes on life skills for emerging adults, inspired by a high-school teacher’s request to fill a gap for her students. These experiences are the basis for this book. She notes the importance of teaching life skills in the library in terms of community relations and community improvement ... The author’s tone is informal, yet informed. In short, she provides useful tips to help librarians plan and deliver engaging, practical—and doable—life skills programs.”
