Dear all
In Northamptonshire, we are thinking of establishing monthly “senior
mornings” to attract older people into our libraries with the promise of
tea and biscuits and extra help in finding books and using library
facilities. There will also be the option of having books dropped off to
people’s homes for those who would otherwise have to be served by the
housebound service but are still able to visit with a bit of extra support.
We are thinking of having a theme for each month, perhaps involving input
from outside agencies offering advice, for example the Pension Service.
It would be great to know if anyone else has developed something similar,
and if so, whether there are any tips for success or pitfalls to avoid.
Many thanks,
Julia Bracher
