Core Connections: Supporting Aging Populations

Libraries are uniquely positioned to support aging adults with programs, spaces, and services that enhance lifelong learning, social connection, health, and independence. Participants will learn about statewide resources and gain practical strategies for developing age-friendly environments, strengthening digital literacy support, and cultivating partnerships with local aging-services organizations. Whether your library already has robust senior programming or is just beginning to plan, this session will offer tools and inspiration for serving older adults with purpose and creativity.

 

James Fuccione is Director of the Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative (MHAC), which is a statewide, cross-sector network supporting and promoting inclusive age- and dementia friendly communities. Molly Evans is the Senior Manager of Strategic Programs & Innovation for the Executive Office of Aging & Independence, a state agency that provides quality aging-related support to ensure every person has the tools and resources they need to fully embrace the aging experience.

 

 

This session is part of MBLC's 12-month series, Core Connections: Building Community Supports and Allyship at Your Library.
