• Helps librarians make their libraries the go-to places in the community for both information and recreation

• Enables librarians to accurately analyze the demographics of their communities and identify the services needed

• Offers simple suggestions to help librarians with limited resources provide age-appropriate services

• Describes information and resources most likely needed during each life stage, making it easier to target the audience for both programming and publicity
