Alessio, A.J. (2014). Mind-Bending Mysteries and Thrillers for Teens: A Programming and Readers' Advisory Guide. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1204-1.

There are plenty of mysteries in teens' lives, including physical and emotional changes, uncertainty about the future, and feelings between people. Seen in this light, the appeal of these stories for this age group makes perfect sense: through a progression of plot and clues, the ending of a teen mystery book provides expected conclusions after an entertaining escape from reality. Well known from her bestselling teen programming books, Alessio offers a complete guide to getting young adults hooked on mysteries. Included are

  *   Book lists featuring every type of mystery subgenre, from cozies and romantic mysteries to suspense thrillers, police procedurals, and beyond, all thoroughly annotated
  *   Titles published within the last five years, accented by a handpicked assortment of classics
  *   Recommendations of some adult mysteries that older teens may enjoy
  *   Profiles of today's teen mystery fans, drawn from first-hand experience
  *   Interviews with several popular mystery authors to sketch in the genre's background and trends
  *   Step-by-step instructions for more than 40 programming ideas, from creating a "Mind Bending Club" to puzzles and a complete mystery dinner script
  *   Tips for displays, booktalks, and marketing
  *   Multiple indexes to help find the right book quickly
This one-of-a-kind resource will help YA librarians connect teens to mysteries they're sure to love.

Porter-Reynolds, Daisy. (2014.) Streamlined Library Programming: How to Improve Services and Cut Costs. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. 978-1-61089-408-7.

Is it possible to both cut costs and improve public library programming for all ages? Yes, it is; this book demonstrates how.

In their roles as community centers, public libraries offer many innovative and appealing programs; but under current budget cuts, library resources are stretched thin. With slashed budgets and limited staff hours, what can libraries do to best serve their publics?
This how-to guide provides strategies for streamlining library programming in public libraries while simultaneously maintaining-or even improving-quality delivery. The wide variety of principles and techniques described can be applied on a selective basis to libraries of all sizes. Based upon the author's own extensive experience as well as that of colleagues in other library systems, this book provides readers with a practical, step-by-step approach to maximizing resources and minimizing costs of programming without sacrificing quality, as well as insider tips and examples from the field that will help them to avoid known pitfalls.

Features
* Discusses centralized programming, explaining what it is, how it works, and how librarians can select and apply techniques to their libraries
* Provides effective solutions to streamlining library services and improving efficiencies in a time of budget reductions
* Offers useful sample documents and forms, such as program description templates, surveys, and storytime box logistics
