Other Models & Practices
The Transforming Life After 50 initiative aims to inspire library innovation that is responsive to the changing nature of aging in America. Change offers great opportunities for progressive, innovative organizations. However, change can be challenging for any organization whose structure and management is geared towards maintaining current practices rather than supporting innovation. And supporting innovation takes more than just the desire to be innovative.
By highlighting cool ideas and promising practices (undertaken by libraries and other organizations) and by providing practical tools and lessons learned by the participating TLA50 libraries, we hope to inspire yet more libraries and other community agencies to consider their own innovative responses to supporting productive aging.
