Heather MacKenzie, Branch Manager of Alderney Gate Public Library (Halifax Public Libraries), tells us that the Regional Libraries of Nova Scotia have formed a Provincial Working Group on Services to Older Adults. In doing so, their hope is to coordinate promotion of library services to the older adult community, share information and provide continuing education in this area to library staff. monitor trends and support regional libraries in the development of programs and services to older adults.
ALA's seniors services guru Allan Kleiman will be presenting at the upcoming CLA/APLA/NLLA conference in June, in a session called "The Boomers are Coming! Supporting Positive Aging Through Public Library Services to Older Adults". This should be a great session; kudos to Heather for submitting this proposal.
Hooray for Halifax!

Books to Retire With!
Vancouver Public Library has created a list of fiction for and about seniors. Any other great lists out there? Or any fiction books you'd like to recommend for and about seniors?
