Diane Palan (Austin Public Library) sent a copy of this inquiry from Alan Kleiman. I am also looking for librarians who might have developed senior programs or senior spaces in their libraries. We have a CTLS workshop scheduled for May 1st, called "Senior Programming Show-n-Tell Tea Party". If you have a senior project you'd be willing to discuss at this workshop, would you let me know by replying to this email? Or if you know someone outside of CTLS who runs a great senior program, I'd like to know that too. These don't have to be long presentations - I'm looking for good ideas, so if you've got some, let me know!

I have not been alone in this design and program concept since Libraries for the Future (LFF) has been doing something similarly to attract baby boomers in several states. Currently, I am developing a list of libraries that have such "developed" spaces in their Libraries. If you or a colleague has developed such a "senior space," can you please send me some details (library name, website, etc). Once the list is completed, then I can post to the list or put that up on the senior spaces page. This might also be a good program for an ALA Conference in the future. What do you think? Thanks, --Allan +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Allan M.
