Advocates for Youth has published The Librarian’s Guide To Sex Education Resources: Audiovisual, Print, and Web-based Materials for Youth, Parents, and Youth-Serving Professionals:

Young people today have many questions about sex and sexual health. Many of these questions are the same as the ones their parents and grandparents had at their age: Am I “normal?” Is my body developing at the right pace? How do I know if I’m in love? Parents too have questions: What do I say when my toddler asks where babies come from? When do I tell my teen about birth control? How do I help my pre-teen understand puberty?

Librarians can help young people and their parents to answer these questions and the thousands more they have by offering a safe and welcoming environment in which they can research and obtain accurate, age appropriate, sexual health materials.
