13. Where libraries can evidence their value: Young people
14. Young people Its not a space that the adults have made its for us by us. Weve had the choice in terms of books and design and other things. Weve made it, so it doesnt look like what adults would think is kids stuff. Its cool, not kiddy stuff it looks like a whole different area and its our area you walk in and its obvious that its our space. (Shaheen, Bolton)
I enjoy being involved with HeadSpace for what it is, but I think that the experience it is giving me is also a plus point..its going to help me with what I want to do later on. (Ben, Buxton)

Developing the reading habit
To read six books is quite hard for some people. But once you've read one you have to go on to another to compare them. It makes you appreciate books. You get a buzz out of it.
