[book1.jpg]Schull, Diantha Dow.  50+ Library services: Innovation in Action.  Chicago: ALA, 2013.  027.622 Schul.  ISBN 978-0-8389-1119-8
Adults over the age of 50 constitute some of the most engaged and frequent users of public libraries. They may also be the most misunderstood. As Baby Boomers continue to swell their ranks, the behavior, interests, and information needs of older adults have changed dramatically, and Schull s new book offers the keys to reshaping library services for the new generations of active older adults. A must-read for library educators, library directors, and any information professional working in a community or academic setting, this important book
*        Analyzes key societal trends, such as longer lifespans and improved population health, and their implications for libraries work with midlife adults
*        Profiles Leading-Edge States and Beacon Libraries from across the nation at the forefront of institutional change
*        Discusses issues such as creativity, health, financial literacy, life planning, and intergenerational activities from the 50+ perspective, while showing how libraries can position themselves as essential centers for learning, encore careers, and community engagement
*        Spotlights best practices that can be adapted for any setting, including samples of hundreds of projects and proposals that illustrate new approaches to 50+ policies, staffing, programs, services, partnerships, and communications
The wisdom and insight contained in this book can help make the library a center for positive aging.
