Promoting library resources in Age Concern day centres
1Leicestershire Libraries and Information Services.
Abstract:
In this report, an experiment to test the effectiveness of library resources with frail elderly people is described. Four day centres run by Age Concern Leicester were selected: two which cater for mentally frail clients, one for physically frail but mentally active people, and one for those with a mental handicap. A series of group sessions using library resources was run by the librarian in each centre, and the results observed. Frail elderly people were found to be a potentially enthusiastic group of library users, with a special need for assistance in gaining access to resources. Guidelines for librarians planning similar sessions to promote their stock are presented.
