Older Americans Month - May 2019
Older Americans Month - May 2019 (https://acl.gov/oam/2019/older-americans)

Each year, more and more older adults are making a positive impact in and around Woodbridge. As volunteers, employees, employers, educators, mentors, advocates, and more, they offer insight and experience that benefit the entire community. That’s why Older Americans Month (OAM) has been recognizing the contributions of this growing population for 56 years.

Led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) each May, OAM provides resources to help older Americans stay healthy and independent, and resources to help communities support and celebrate their diversity.

The Woodbridge Public Library will celebrate OAM by promoting ways that community members of all ages can take part in helping Woodbridge thrive. We encourage you to join us for the following FREE programs:
