The October 26th Boston Sunday Globe carried an article entitled, "They're Not Retiring Types: Older Workers Are Finding Meaning After Ending Their Careers," by Davis Bushnell. The piece speaks to the needs and interests of the target population in our LSTA grant, The Library Experience: Older Citizens http://www.nmrls.org/news/julaug03/libgrants.shtml. Read the article on NewsBank at http://www.mlin.lib.ma.us/cgi-bin/remote.pl?db=newsbank. You'll be asked for your library barcode. (Beware of the word "not" if you search by title!)

NMRLS' partner in this grant, Libraries for the Future http://www.lff.org, is preparing a survey that will be sent to member public libraries. The results will be used to assess programs and services presently in place at libraries for this demographic. Watch for this survey in early winter and assist us with your responses!
