摘要
This study is intended to contribute to the discussion of important issues in library services to young adults by reporting the results of a survey of all of the public libraries in New Jersey-a large, diverse, well-populated state, with a range of sizes and types of public libraries, and a significant young adult population. The results indicate that services are provided for young adults, but that such services are less formalized than those for other service populations. Staffing devoted to services for young adults is limited and other opportunities to enhance the services provided are missed.
