Happy Independence Day!

Happy National Seniors Day!
On August 21, we celebrate National Senior
Citizens Day. At Queens Library, though, every
day is Senior Citizens Day—and we’ve got the
programs to prove it.
Among our flagship programs are
computer training, remote access
services, the Adult Learner Program,
and health and wellness services.
Older adults can take computer
classes tailored to varying goals
and experience levels, including
introductory classes on computers,
the Internet, Microsoft programs, and
Google. Facebook and other social
media are also covered, allowing
participants to stay in touch with
friends and family.
Also popular is the Mail-A-Book
program, which offers homebound
individuals free delivery of library
materials right to their door. Mail-
A-Book participants can join in on
teleconferenced lectures, classes,
and discussions led by experienced
facilitators.
The Adult Learner Program offers
lifelong learning opportunities,
including English for Speakers of Other
Languages (ESOL), literacy groups, and
other workshops and classes, many
of which are run at Adult Learning
Centers. Queens Library also provides
access to large-print reading materials,
digital and traditional audiobooks,
and job search workshops specifically
designed for Older Adults.
For health-conscious seniors, Queens
Library offers the Stay Well Exercise
Program (Central and East Elmhurst),
HealthLink and ConnectCare health
and wellness programs, and the
Consumer Health Resources Center.
From Zumba Gold to lectures on herbal
and prescription medications, seniors
can learn valuable health and wellness
information, receive routine health
screenings and stay fit to ensure
positive wellbeing. ■
