"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."
-- Booklist
"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
