Libraries are rich in resources for older Coloradans.

This April, the Colorado State Library is opening up the books on itself and inviting the community in to learn about local libraries, available resources, and programming.

“Libraries aid in community building,” Dr. Marissa Volpe, director of outreach, said. “We highly encourage Coloradans to check out the Aging at Your Library webinars.”

In “Aging at Your Library: How Colorado Libraries Meet the Moment for Aging Adults,” Coloradan community members, partners, and libraries will learn about the Colorado public library ecosystem, find their local libraries, and learn how their libraries have built robust programs, curated resources, and fostered partnerships to meet the ever-growing needs of aging and older adults. As the state’s population trends bend toward aging and aging-in-place communities, the trends of Colorado’s public library services, resources, and partnerships follow. From tai chi classes and Ageless Grace programming to end of life and caregiving for adults educational series, Colorado’s libraries have responded to the call of their communities to meet them where they are and take them where they want to go. This presentation will include examples from the field, highlighting different libraries’ offerings and introducing participants to the new, innovative ways libraries respond to their unique and dynamic communities.
