- 7. By using technology with at-risk teens, students felt more motivated to learn, received better grades, and accepted more responsibility for their work. Additionally, research found that computer-based instruction can increase the self-esteem of at-risk youth . Page, M. S. (2002).

- 16. Dream It Do It @ Your Library D.I.D.I. provides seed funding (up to $1000 US) and the support youth need to launch their own social entrepreneurial projects. The D.I.D.I.

- 22. What value does the library gain from serving this population?
- 23. By its nature, libraries as an institution are committed to serving patrons, no matter what their circumstances. Libraries help create the ultimate social network for Youth Offenders. If facilitated well, there is little to no additional monetary cost to libraries. By serving incarcerated teens libraries generate community good will, and model leadership behavior for other organizations.

- Teenagers who are at high risk of failing school and often live in impoverished settings are noted in the research literature as “at-risk teens.” Conditions associated with being at- risk include coming from poor families with ethnic and linguistic minority backgrounds, having parents who are not high school graduates, and having negative self-perceptions” Druian, G., & Butler, J. A. (1987). Effective schooling practices and at-risk youth: What the research shows. Retrieved September 10, 2004, from www.nwrel.org/scpd/sirs.1.topsyn1.html

- Day”(2002) conducted a study of middle school students at risk of failure who were given the opportunity to work in a “technology lab.” He found that based on this experience, students felt more motivated to learn, received better grades, and accepted more responsibility for their work in the lab environment. Additionally, Page (2002) found that computer-based instruction can increase the self-esteem of at-risk youth. Concludes that strategies that use technology to teach “real world applications that support research, design, analysis and communication” will support at-risk students.

- Many of these strategies along with individualized and self-paced instruction, appear across the literature about at-risk youth Waxman, H. C., Padron, Y. N., & Arnold, K. A. (2001).

- Partnerships, resources, and advocacy Setting: Partnership between CML & Sherriff Began with standard library services of book clubs, author visits, writing programs and literature-based programs. Sherriff department wanted more technology based programs as YOs had lack of computer skills etc, also wanted non-traditional ways to pique interest in reading, creative outlet etc. There were many best practices and programs at CML for teens that already served this need, Sherriff’s department wanted to inplement a modified version of said programs with the YOs, a partnership was created

- Libraries have resources, have programs that already address needs of at-risk population, have trained staff, can use these resources with incarcerated teens.
- Even before the recession young adults are routinely under represented in terms of library budget, programming, collection development, specialized staff, and outreach. The at-risk population garners even less attention as they are typically low performing in sports and academics, two areas where high performing teens can find almost unlimited support.
- Use programs that are already developed and modify, or use programs that are already developed from other library systems. Connect the tech program with existing jail programs, i.e. Podcasting for a book report, typing up a resume, creating a commercial for the library etc. Do pre/ post evaluations for all technology programs Utilize digital product when advocating for services for the at-risk teen population
