About YALSA

The Young Adult Library Services Association's (YALSA) mission is to support library staff in alleviating the challenges teens face, and in putting all teens --especially those with the greatest needs-- on the path to successful and fulfilling lives. YALSA is a Division of the American Library Association.

Read about us and our mission in Associations Now and check out our report on the Future of Library Services for and with Teens: a Call to Action. You can also watch this brief video and hear from teens themselves about what libraries mean to them.
