Intergen at the Library: Programming and Engagement Across Ages
Through intergenerational programming, libraries foster design opportunities for people to interact with, learn from, and share with people of different ages, interests, and cultural backgrounds. In this session, participants will explore generational labels, discover the benefits of and barriers to intergenerational relationship building, and find resources for designing their own intergenerational programs.
Generational divides are some of the steepest, defined not just by age, but by differences in experiences, cultures, and perspectives. Through intergenerational programming, libraries foster design opportunities for people to interact with, learn from, and share with people of different ages, interests, and cultural backgrounds. In this session, participants will distinguish between “intergenerational” and “multigenerational,” explore generational labels, discover the benefits of and barriers to intergenerational relationship building, and find resources from and beyond the library landscape for designing their own intergenerational programs.
