New Advocacy Toolkit (Free) from ALA: Library Service to Older Adults

From the Announcement:

The latest toolkit from the ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS), Keys to Engaging Older Adults @ your library, is now available in print and as a free download.

Keys to Engaging Older Adults @ your library responds to the needs of librarians across the country who provide services to the older adults in their communities every day. The toolkit provides tips and tools to better understand and serve this important and growing segment of the population, covering topics ranging from programming, funding, publicity, accessibility, best practices and much more. The toolkit is also available in a large-print downloadable version.

Keys to Engaging Older Adults @ your library is the fourth in a series of outreach advocacy toolkits available from OLOS. Other available toolkits include The Small but Powerful Guide to Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library, The Guide to Building Support for Your Tribal Library and How to Serve the World @ Your Library: Serving Non-English Speakers in U.S. Public Libraries.
