Intergenerational Programs at the Library: Connecting Generations for Healthy Communities (Free Webinar)

Intergenerational Programs at the Library: Connecting Generations for Healthy Communities (Free Webinar)

This is a free webinar from WebJunction.

This webinar explores how and why intergenerational relationships are important and develops skills to foster intergenerational communication in libraries.

Walk into almost any public library and you’ll see people of all ages engaging in the community space. When libraries offer programs and services that intentionally spark connection between generations, they contribute to more vibrant and cohesive communities. Learn how your library can develop inviting opportunities to encourage more intergenerational connections on a day-to day basis. This webinar will discuss why intergenerational relationships are important and will help you develop skills to foster intergenerational communication in your library. We’ll explore ideas and resources that will turn your library into a community intergenerational catalyst.
