"Flip the Script on Aging" at the Library!

This year's Older Americans Month theme invites us to rethink what it means to grow old, focusing on transforming how society perceives, talks about and approaches aging by instead highlighting the opportunities for growth and connection. As part of the celebration, the Library is offering a variety of engaging programs for older adults of all interests, including fitness classes, art workshops, book discussions and more.
