Beyond Bingo: Aging Creatively in Public Libraries

Creative Aging Professional Development for Librarians

As part of Lifetime Arts IMLS National Leadership Grant, a two part professional development workshop engaged 40 librarians from the NY Metro Region in four sessions.  Led by national experts, librarians learned about creative aging best practices, the nuts and bolts of program implementation and sustainability and what kinds of programs libraries across the country are offering for older adults. Workshops were hosted by New York Public Library and took place on June 12 and July 11, 2012.
