Senior citizens (frequently referred to by the more inclusive term
"older adults") are one of the largest and fastest growing
demographics in the world. Public libraries have a duty to serve
these individuals with the same level of care and opportunity for
participation that is afforded to younger generations. This book
explores older adults' values and needs and describes the many ways
libraries can serve them in effective ways. Senior Services Today:
A Practical Guide for Librarians is a comprehensive guide to
library services for this important community. Chapters cover these
critical areas: Engaging Older Adults in Library Programs and
Services Understanding Demographic Differences Marketing to Older
Adults: Strategies Programming Ideas for Older Adults in the Modern
Age Enhancing Technology Accessibility for Older Adults Community
Outreach: Serving Outside the Library Specialty Collections Items
Continuing the Library's Relationship with an Aging Population
While many times libraries tend to allocate budget and funding to
flashier, brighter programs aimed at a more youthful audiences,
this book shows how and why that same enthusiasm should be applied
to crafting an engaging senior services plan. Gone are the
conventional days of bingo and knitting circles; while those
programs certainly have their place, this books aims to show that
seniors also crave fun experiences alongside opportunities to make
their own lives easier and more stress free-- and to illuminates
how libraries can strike this balance by offering an enriching
senior services roster.
