Young Adult Services: Challenges and Opportunities (COYAS) is a comprehensive volume that addresses the pressing issues and opportunities in young adult (teen) library services. Historically, young adult services have been overshadowed by services to children and have faced fractious relationships between public and school libraries. As a result, young adult services lack the capacity to build the institutional, political, cultural, or professional influence needed to grow and develop beyond ritual and repetition. COYAS aims to address these inequities by preparing professionals, providing a single, broad, and diverse engagement with scholars and acknowledged experts on the most pressing issues confronting YA services today. Students at both graduate and undergraduate levels will benefit from the field-tested topics delivered through accessible treatments. Practicing YA (and youth) librarians will appreciate the support and evidence-based analysis they likely found lacking in their MLIS programs. Earnest youth advocates will value the pursuit of issues beyond cliché and perpetual "crash course" entry-level conversations. In addition, instructors and students will both value the brevity of concisely focused chapters, sectional introductions, as well as the study guide questions that conclude each chapter. Content areas include history and critical engagement with foundational concepts in YA services, current practices regarding challenges and opportunities, as well as forward-leaning issues for future development of the field. COYAS will ultimately empower librarians to provide high-quality services to young adults and to advocate for their needs and interests.
