Ridgefield, CT — The Commission on Aging invites the community to its monthly Senior
Voices program on September 8 from 1:00–2:30 p.m., featuring a special presentation by The Ridgefield Library that will showcase the many resources, services, and opportunities available to residents of all ages.
Serving approximately 700 community members each day, The Ridgefield Library is far more than a place to borrow books. From obtaining a library card and accessing digital resources to receiving technology assistance, the Library offers a wide range of services designed to educate, connect, and support the community.
Library Director Brenda McKinley, Assistant Library Director John Casiello, and representatives from several library departments will introduce attendees to the Library’s rich history, extensive physical and digital collections, adult programs, lectures, and special events. They will also highlight everyday services, including free Wi-Fi, public computers, printing, faxing, and personalized technology assistance. Through appointments at the Technology Center, patrons can learn how to stay safe online, navigate operating systems, and build confidence using today’s digital tools.
The presentation will also feature the Library’s monthly Memory Café, offered in partnership with RVNAhealth and which compliments the sessions held monthly at Ridgefield Parks & Recreation. This welcoming program is designed for individuals experiencing memory loss and the family members or friends who care for them. Participants enjoy engaging activities, meaningful social connections, and a supportive environment, while caregivers have the opportunity to share experiences and connect with others facing similar challenges.
Senior Voices is free and open to the public. Participants may attend either in person or via Zoom through RidgefieldLibrary.org. Following the presentation, guests are invited to stay for light refreshments and conversation.
