The David A. Howe Public Library in New York is planning to use the Bookapalooza materials to supplement their youth materials, as well as establish a rotating outreach collection for youth. Located in a rural area with low population density and no public transportation, they are making efforts to reach youth where they are. The new collection will greatly help them as they reach out to many different community facilities, including local schools which lack school librarians.
