Webcast Description

Many libraries throughout the state have just completed their community assessments for the California State Library’s recent initiative -Transforming Life After 50: Libraries and Baby Boomers.  How to utilize Boomer talent and experience in volunteer roles that support libraries and build communities was a priority in most library assessments.

Join the California State Library’s Carla Lehn as she addresses how libraries can re-engineer volunteerism to align with the desire and potential of boomers. Whether you have participated in the Transforming Life After 50 Initiative or not, we encourage your participation
