"There are a wealth of resources out there geared towards serving the needs of toddlers, school age children, young adults, and senior citizens. But something's missing. Library users in their 20s and 30s constitute one of the most underserved populations for public libraries, and there's a scarcity of guidance on how to target them. Barbakoffs fun and practical programming book helps to fill that gap. A 2013 Library Journal Mover & Shaker who was also named one of Flavorwires “10 of the Coolest Librarians Alive,” she shows how to draw emerging adults to the library using a mixture of play and engagement and then keep them coming back for more"--Publisher's website.

This is an interesting read.
I liked the different categories of programming. I'm in this age bracket, but wanted to read about how other people are reaching out to them. There is a lot of reusable/renewable and planting in the beginning which I don't think will work in many areas, but definitely seems like a great idea.
I was also interested in reading more about off library events. I know Sacramento Public Library has Alt Library, but learning about different places was interesting too.
