    Extractions: A Selected Listing of Books by and about People of Color, Volume Two, 1991-1996 Barbara FoulksBoyd Horning, Kathleen T., Ginny Moore Druse and Megan Schliesman. Multi cultural Literature for Children and Young Adults: A Selected Listing of Books by and about People of Color, Volume Two, 1991-1996. Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC), 1997. This annotated collection of multicultural literature is a thoughtful selection of children's and young adult books published in the United States and Canada between 1991 and 1996. This volume addresses most recently published books; volume one covered multicultural literature for children published from 1980-1990. The authors have defined multicul-tural literature as "books by and about people of color: Africans, Afro-Carribeans and African Americans; American Indians; Asians, Asian Pacific Peoples and Asian Americans; and Latinos" (p. 1). Over 500 books are included with a thorough and descriptive annotation of content and illustrations, consisting of approximately 150 words each. This is not a review of all published multicultural books but only those that "the Cooperative Children's Book Center recommends: high quality children's and young adult literature innovative in style, accurate in content, important in theme, and/or unusual in insight" (p. vii). With each entry, the author, title, publisher, international standard book number (ISBN), and age range are listed. Entries are grouped by age, including categories as: Books for Babies and Toddlers, Concept Books (for the very young), Picture Books, Children (age ranges 7 to 14), and Teenagers (age ranges 11 to 16 to adult). Entries are also grouped by topic, including, among others: Seasons and Celebrations, Issues in Today's World, Understanding Oneself and Others, and Historical People, Places, and Events. An index allows the reader to easily locate an entry by author, title, or subject.

    Extractions: Spring 1999 In 1957, the Association of Young People's Librarians became a separate division called Young Adult Services Division (YASD). YASD was interested in the improvement and extension of services to young people in all types of libraries (Rogers 1979). Social change in the late 1960s was seen in library service and literature. Novels such as The Outsiders and The Pigman seemed to make it clear that young adult novels were a special type of literature and not just children's books for older readers (Jones 1993). In the late 1970s, young adult novels were growing in popularity and acceptance as they covered all of the issues of the time. Libraries began to provide space to attract young adults to the library (Rogers 1979). Library facilities were designed or rearranged to make young adults comfortable and included new programming that included concerts and dramatic productions (Rogers 1979). The report of the National Center for Education Statistics pointed out the contradiction of young adult services. Young adults are using libraries, but they use them more when a young adult librarian is present. Yet, library generalists seem to be serving this population. The library directors recognize the importance of young adult services. However, the question still unanswered is are libraries going to provide the programming and outreach activities to young adults (Jones 1993)? Libraries expend a lot of energy on encouraging children to read and to use the public library through story time and other programming. However, once these same children enter junior and high school it appears that libraries are no longer interested in providing services to them. As evidenced by the NCES survey report, young adults are not being served by young adult librarians in 89 percent of public libraries in the study. The underlying question seems to be do young adults deserve specialized service?
