I dunno, I suppose this book was informative with creative ideas and plenty of black and white pictures, but somehow I just couldn't see many of these programs working at my library. They were either too juvenile or too pedestrian for the teens. Yeah, they could bring in their own jeans and we would decorate them and sew them into pillows. But the teens in this town don't seem to be into sewing. Perhaps it's just me, maybe I'm not creative enough to picture a teen being excited about any of this stuff. But then again, how often are teens excited about anything?

Sigh..... I dunno.... I'll keep searching.
