Transforming Life after 50
The Transforming Life After 50 initiative (TLA50) is a growing community of library professionals and library users who are working to transform how libraries serve and engage their communities, especially active mid-life adults ages 50+. Although initially formed to support the twenty-four grant funded libraries in California where the initiative began, we hope to interact with other libraries, in California and beyond, that are also actively reaching out to their mid-life adult communities. By inviting libraries to share their experiences and lessons learned, we hope to create a diverse TLA50 learning community – a place to exchange ideas and share examples from which we all may draw inspiration."
