Monterey Park Library's Transforming Life After 50 project announcement

Are you a proud member of the baby boomer generation and interested in contributing and volunteering for your community? The Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library is working on a major library grant and we would love to hear from you.

American society is facing an inevitable transformation as 76 million "baby boomers" (who were born between 1946 and 1964)" are entering their retirement age. The first of the baby boomers turned 65 in January this year. Every day for the next 19 years, 10,000 boomers in the United States will pass that milestone. Today, about 13 percent of the US population is 65 or older; by 2025, the rate will grow up to 18%. This population trend will have great impact to every aspect of our society.

To better serve the boomer population, the library currently is planning a "Transforming Life After 50" (TLA50) project that will explore creative strategies for serving and engaging midlife adults. One of the requirements for this project is to conduct a community assessment that will discover the needs of this particular population in our community. If you or your loved ones are a proud member of the baby boomer generation, or you are interested in contributing and volunteering for your community, Monterey Park Library is looking for volunteers and we would love to hear from you!

Please contact our program coordinator Maggie Wang immediately at 626-307-1368 or via email: mwang@montereypark.ca.gov.
