This report summarizes findings from the State Library of Florida's "Evaluation of Statewide Youth Services Program" project. The project was designed to assist the State Library of Florida in developing a long-range plan for youth services and to link the public library effort to "Blueprint 2000," the Florida education goals, and the federal Educate America Act: Goals 2000. In addition, the project provides a profile of the local public libraries' needs in youth services. There are five main sections. The first summarizes the findings about youth services needs and activities in local (Florida) libraries. Results from librarian and client (parents and caregivers, young adults, and children) focus groups are provided. The second section examines the role of the State Library in youth services. Focus group findings on the following roles are presented: FLYP (Florida Library Youth Program); training; young adults; collaboration; technology; consulting; leadership; management information; and communication. Questionnaire data is summarized for: satisfaction and importance ratings; use of State Library services; ways the State Library can help; and priorities for the State Library. The LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) long-range plan is evaluated in the third section. The library's role in the state's "Blueprint 2000" is outlined in the fourth section; the library's goals discussed include: youths' readiness to start school; graduation rate and readiness for postsecondary education and employment; student performance; learning environment; school safety and environment; teachers and staff; and adult literacy. The fifth section includes nine recommendations to the State Library of Florida about its role in youth services and three recommendations related to the LSCA long-range plan. (MAS)
