New YALSA Partnering Toolkit<http://www.ala.org/yalsa/sites/ala.org.yalsa/files/content/Partnerships_WebVersion.pdf>: "One of the best ways to enhance services, specifically teen services in libraries, is through partnerships. Partnerships on behalf of teens leads to the development of effective programs, services and materials that help teens to thrive. Sprinkled throughout this toolkit<http://www.ala.org/yalsa/sites/ala.org.yalsa/files/content/Partnerships_WebVersion.pdf> are resources that will help you at each stage of the partnership or funding experience. At the end is an appendix of turnkey materials that libraries can adapt to their own needs and use immediately, as well as a list of relevant YALSA resources."
