The document summarizes the Youth Access program at the Bridge, which provides IT-based learning support for 1300 young people aged 12 and older in evenings and weekends. The program was introduced 4 years ago in response to behavioral problems some youth caused in the main library. It is supported by a college youth worker and tutor, and reserves 50 PCs for teenagers. Youth workers and library assistants build relationships with the youth and encourage positive behavior and learning. The program helps youth become confident, effective contributors, and responsible citizens as described in the Curriculum for Excellence. It has led to reduced disorder and violence in the area.
