[Michlib-l] Adult Advisory Board

[Monica Porter]

Hi Kristin,

We have a Senior Advisory Board at Ypsilanti District Library.  They have
been very vital in providing feedback on
future programs and services for seniors.  We meet on the third Thursday of
every month.    At the end
of the year, we have an Appreciation Celebration for them and bring in food
and good conversation.

We do bring in speakers from our current and future partners on topics
that interest them at
the meetings.  We now have a senior newsletter out of the hard work of the
Senior Advisory Board.  I
have shared our newsletter from last month.


Monica Porter, MLIS

Head Librarian of Outreach Services,
Ypsilanti District Library - Whittaker
