This past spring, the Youth Section organized an event entitled “Libraries Making a Difference for Children and Teens at Risk” at McGill University's downtown campus. The first speaker, Nicholas Warren, gave his talk -- “More hats than libraries: Serving at-risk youth at multiple alternative schools”, wherein he shared his successes, challenges, and strategies for working with at-risk teenagers at EMSB alternative schools. Carole Boubalos provided the second talk: "Programming ideas to serve the special needs of autistic children in a library setting".
I am a currently conducting a survey of non-branch alternative library services in North America (examples of these services could include: a bookmobile or van, pop-up library or depot, homebound delivery, kiosk or vending machine, interlibrary loans, or talking books). The survey consists of 28 questions and should take no more than 30 minutes to complete.
