The Aging with Agility project is a multifaceted, year-long initiative meant to address security and independence for seniors as they age. We expect these initiatives to have an encouraging and empowering impact on seniors in our community, assisting them in lifelong learning, aging in place and in feeling connected to family, to neighbours and to the community as a whole.
Gadgets with Guests
What's a QR code for? What use is a 3-D printer? And who the heck is Alexa and why is she in my house? Join us and our guests in the Library Auditorium each month to find out how things work and try them yourselves!
