      VerbYL is a standalone shopfront youth space incorporating a library service and general youth services for young people aged 13-25, located in the main street of Yeppoon Central Queensland. Critical success factors include the equal partnership between council's youth services and library services; the development of a distinctive brand for the service; and the engagement of young people in the design and ongoing operation of the service. VerbYL was recognized in the national awards for local government 2006 as the winner, youth engagement category; and by the Queensland Public Librarians Association for innovative service provision to the community in 2006. It is possibly unique worldwide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
