Natural Resources: Mining the Knowledge and Talents of Older Adults

About This Grant

Natural Resources seeks to tap older adults as a community resource in three areas: 1) to create an inventory of skills and talents of adults ages 55+ who are willing to lend their expertise to individuals and groups; 2) to provide intergenerational opportunities for learning by engaging adults to foster the love of reading in young children; and, 3) to gather feedback about current library services and make changes to improve the library experience for older adults.
