YA Library UK is dedicated to gathering tools and resources for anyone and everyone working with teens/young adults (ages 11-18*) in libraries. YA Library UK's primary aim to freely share information and tools in an effort to advocate for better teen spaces and programmes in UK libraries. I hope this site will further advocacy amongst the small but growing community of library staff committed to working with young people.
