A comprehensive guide to creating dynamic, successful, and
innovative library programs that cater to the specialized needs of
older adults-an important and growing user group. Crash Course in
Library Services for Seniors provides a refreshingly positive
approach to working with older adults-one that focuses on the
positive effects of aging on patrons, and the many opportunities
that libraries can create for themselves by offering top-notch
services delivered with a concierge mindset. The book offers page
after page of great programming ideas specifically for reaching out
to Baby Boomers and older customers-a population that is predicted
to double over the next 20 years. Organized in only six chapters,
this easy-to-read book provides practical suggestions for making
any library a welcoming place for older adults, covering topics
such as assessment, planning, programming, services, marketing, and
evaluation. This title will be invaluable to public librarians
interested in expanding and improving their current programming for
older adults within their community, and for those looking to
create entirely new programming for seniors.
