Building Great Communities…Book by Book
Librarians are doing some of the most important work in positive youth development today. Search Institute Press resources benefit libraries in three ways:
Programming: Our books of activities, games, mentoring tools, and community outreach ideas provide youth program leaders with thousands of ways to reach out to teens. Get sample pages of The Best of Building Assets Together and Great Group Games.
