Americans for Libraries Council

Libraries for the Future and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, in a joint partnership, will convene 40 to 50 of the nation's library leaders, educators, and experts in selected fields in a forum that will begin a dialogue on Libraries and Productive Aging: Opportunities for Learning and Civic Participation. Participants will address the challenges posed by the need to create services for active, engaged older adults. The forum will enable expert professionals from related fields to offer their insights and will give library leaders the opportunity to explore concepts for strengthening academic and continuing education for librarians.
