Sažetak

The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of library services for teenagers in public libraries during their leisure time, and to determine what kind of library activities, in terms of structure, are the most acceptable to teenagers and young adults. Using the methodology of literature review and comparison of texts, concepts like leisure, teenagers and leisure time activities (regarding their structure) were determined. The role of public libraries in the lives of teenagers was linked with their developmental needs. In one of the Zagreb City Libraries – Selčina Library, a research was conducted (mostly using a qualitative method of semi-structured interview), consisting of researching young library patron’s satisfaction with their library. The way they spend their leisure time was also researched, as well as the general perception of the library from two points of view – active teenagers, and those who are not – inactive teengers (depending on their participation in various library activities). This paper results with an insight into the importance of public libraries and library activities in teenagers’ leisure time. Furthermore, it brings into view general attitudes and perceptions teenagers have towards libraries and library activities, pointing out the structural and contextual need of adapting library services to young adults considering their unique developmental needs. This work suggests teenagers should be observed as a separate group of patrons in public libraries. They should be offered leisure time library activities tailored specifically to their needs and included in creation of those activities and programs. In this way, they can be encouraged to visit libraries and enjoy them more, which gives us a chance to act educationally and create the next generation of library users.
