Website:PLA http://www.pla.org/ http://plablog.org/2007/06/programming-not-just-for-boomers-programming-and-services.html
The blog's author attended the Programming Not Just for Boomers: Programming and Services program on Saturday, June 23. The program was aimed at adult programs for patrons 70+ years old. A few highlights:
Take an “old” idea and put a new spin on it, such as…
*Basic computer training (introduction to internet)
*How to buy tickets online
*How to email kids and grandkids (and set up an email account)
*Train seniors in new technology (blogs, etc.)
*How to use digital photography
*Gaming – Wii festival and tournaments
*Social networking (Seniornet or Eons) (http://www.seniornet.org / http://www.eons.com/)
*Other ideas: http://www.libraryolderadults.blogspot.com/
Reflection:This blog reminds us that it is important to create programming for every demographic within our community. It can be applied to any group, our library has created programs geared toward seniors, singles, mothers and daughters,and small business owners.
