This May, the Clermont County Public Library joins the nation in celebrating Older Americans Month with the theme “Powered by Connection.” Recognizing the importance of meaningful relationships and social connections for our well-being, the Library offers a variety of resources specifically tailored to our senior community members.

Memory Kits: Available at all branches, our Memory Kits provide families with a valuable resource to a foster connection with loved ones experiencing memory loss. These kits contain a variety of prompts and activities designed to spark conversation and positive recollection. Shared memories can strengthen bonds and create cherished moments for all involved.

Senior Cafes: Join us for a Senior Cafe at one of our library branches. These gatherings provide a welcoming space for seniors to socialize, share stories, and participate in fun activities facilitated by library staff. Enjoy refreshments and games while building connections with friends old and new. Visit our website, clermontlibrary.org, for dates and locations.

Volunteer Opportunities: The Library thrives thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, many of whom are valued members of our senior community. Volunteering offers a rewarding way to share your skills and knowledge, connect with others, and contribute to your local library. If you’re interested in volunteering, please visit our online form at clermontlibrary.org.

Musical Monday Mornings: Sing along to your favorite tunes at our Musical Monday Mornings program. Held the third Monday of each month at the New Richmond Branch Library, this program offers a delightful way to relive classic music and connect with fellow music lovers.

We invite all senior community members to explore the resources available at the Clermont County Public Library. Let’s celebrate the power of connection this May and beyond!
