Ed Itorial, a spunky young reporter, for WLIB TV, takes librarians into the library to get the real story on today's kids. In the course of his interviews with both kids and librarians, library staff learn the importance of accurately assessing and responding to young patron's needs. From overcoming stereotypes (boys wanting ballet books) to the delicate problem of the parent who speaks for the kid (who is often interested in something else entirely), with extra attention given to handling children's reference questions and home work assignments, Kids Are Patrons Too! reinforces the fact that children are the adult patrons of the future. How we treat them today may well determine whether they will become steady library users into their adult years. Recommended. (Available from: ALA Video, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611).
