New Website for Lifelong Access Libraries
Take a look at Library for the Future's newest program website, www.LifelongLibraries.org. The site is a feature of LFF's Lifelong Access Libraries Initiative, positioning libraries to meet baby boomers and other active adults with up-to-the-minute resources, referrals, meaningful life options, and more.
Among the features of the site:
- An Innovations Inventory, capturing emerging practices in library programs and services for active older adults;
- Links, resources, and training agendas to help libraries and other community-responsive institutions update services for the millions of baby boomers right now considering new options for creative work and meaningful retirement;
- Reports such as "Designs for Change: Libraries and Productive Aging," capturing insights from last fall's ALC/IMLS Library Leaders Forum, including a call to action for libraries to lead the way to new approaches to aging.
