Reading tie-ins.

Anyone at any age can benefit from a life skills program: learning to effectively manage the daily obstacles in life. Whether financial, job searches, or cooking, many skills are not being addressed fully in schools, or are being offered at a time when the person is not ready to accept the information. Buckley offers easy-to-implement activities readers can use to develop life skills classes at their library. Whether basic transitioning skills, setting goals and reaching milestones, or basic "adulting", the classes can help your patrons become responsible human beings. -- adapted from Preface and perusal of book
