OC Public Libraries Presents Older Americans Month

Seniors playing games

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. (April 25, 2024) – Older adults (aged 65+) constitute over half a million of our total county population. According to the Orange County Office on Aging’s Area Plan, this older adult population is the “only age group that is projected to grow as all others shrink proportionately.” With this in mind, OC Public Libraries is proud to celebrate Older Americans Month by offering a series of free events that honor our vibrant older adult community. These events, hosted by OC Public Libraries’ Senior Services Committee, are made possible through a generous grant from the California Department of Aging, as allocated by the Orange County Board of Supervisors.

 

Events during Older Americans Month 2024: 

 

Collaborative Paint Program
