Re-Imagining Age Project, Inc.

Americans for Libraries Council (ALC) and its partners in New York, Connecticut, and Virginia will develop public programming among cultural institutions that engage intergenerational audiences in exploring the experience of aging in America from historical, cultural, and artistic perspectives. The project will occur in Norfolk, Virginia; Hartford, Connecticut; and Suffolk County, New York, which were selected for their relatively large numbers of active older residents. ALC, its National Advisors, and partners will work with the demonstration communities to develop an Age in America Programming Guide, provide content and technical expertise, and ensure online and face-to-face networking. A culminating report, Designs for Change: Libraries and Museum Collaborations on Aging, will enable local libraries and museums to build a community of practice.
