Abstrakt: The article reports on the survey conducted on Public Library Data Service (PLDS) in the U.S. Researchers surveyed 1,672 libraries and only 904 responded to the activity. It focuses on collections, expenditures, staff for Young Adult (YA) services and outreach to other YA service providers in the community. It reveals that the ratio of YA librarian full-time equivalents (FTEs) and YA paraprofessional staff FTEs to young adults increases with the size of the legal service area and the largest libraries have more young adults in their legal service area which results in a lower ratio of YA paraprofessional staff FTEs to young adults than other public libraries.
