[Publib] Age ranges for Teen Services

[King, Kathryn]

PUBLIB-ers--

I am trying to gather some information about how other libraries
classify their teens, specifically what age ranges do you teen services
serve.  

We have a special situation because we have Teen (15-17+) and Juvenile
(8-11) and then a netherworld called Middle Zone (ages 11-14).  

The question has arisen as to why "teen" doesn't include all teens.  Is
there a better term for High Schoolers that isn't school level specific?
Announcing that we have a great "high schoolers zone" doesn't sound like
it would entice any high schooler to come, hang out and (perchance to
dream) check out a book.

On a follow up question: Do you find more overlap between jr high
schoolers and high schoolers OR upper elementary kids and jr high
schoolers?

In a quandary in Texas,
Kathryn
