Alternative solutions to outreach for elderly patrons
by Director 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

Hello everyone, Our local newspaper announced today that they will be ceasing publication come this November 3rd. We relied on the newspaper heavily to reach elderly members of the community to share library news and upcoming events, as we have a dedicated section of the paper to submit columns for the library. Since they are discontinuing the newspaper, we will need to find other alternatives to engage these patrons, who usually are adverse to the usual methods of social media or a website (which we already also use, but see little engagement from older community members). I was wondering what other libraries do to reach these patrons if they do not have a local newspaper to rely on. I am happy to compile replies and send along to michlib if enough are interested in hearing responses. Thank you, Kelsey Rutkowski *--------------------------------------* *Library Director* *Indian River Area Library* 3546 S Straits Hwy PO Box 160 Indian River, MI 49749 (231) 238-8581 indianriverlibrary.org

Public Library, and the Fayette Public Library Museum and Archives (in LaGrange, TX) invites you to learn about their innovative work to support teen mental health through co-design and VR. The project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, gives teens the chance to build positive mental health practices and bring those to the design and development of mental health-based VR experiences. You can get started learning about the project on its website, VRtality<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvrtality.o…> - http://vrtality.org<http://vrtality.org/>. The site gives you access to information on the initiative's background, program plans, and co-design session templates. The VRtality site also includes interactive components so you can build and customize your own roadmap for a mental health co-design project. You can also download the VR experiences designed by teens as a part of their VRtality participation. Coming Soon: Videos and Q&A Zoom Session The project team is getting ready to post a series of videos about all aspects of the initiative on the website. Posting of project videos will be followed by a live Zoom Q&A session on August 18 at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/Noon Mountain/11AM Pacific. During the Zoom you can ask questions of those who implemented VRtality co-design activities and find out how to bring a similar initiative to your community.
