Patty Campbell, young adult librarian, and author of Sex Guides: Books and Films About Sexuality for Young Adults is the host for this informative and engaging look at a perennial, but often unmentioned, problem in libraries. How do we get information about sex to our young people--the ones who need it most--when they themselves will be the least likely to ask about it? Patty Campbell advises librarians to bring it out in the open with pamphlets and displays, to make sure your collection is thoroughly weeded annually (and outdated information discarded), and actively seek support from your community. A short message for librarians from Dr. Ruth Westheimer is included at the beginning of the program. An important tape on an important subject. Highly recommended. (Available from: ALA Video, 50 E.
