Senior Services Workshop — Library Updates
Allan Kleiman presented the wonderful workshop, Serving Older Adults With Panache, on February 6, 2012 at SALS. Since attending the workshop, several libraries have taken action to improve their services to seniors using the ideas and models presented at the workshop.
