in·no·va·tor [in-uh-vey-tor] noun: one who introduces something new or makes changes in anything established

Being an innovator requires vision, discipline, experimentation, inclusion of diverse perspectives, perseverance and optimism. Many progressive libraries in California and a growing community of national innovators are exploring new frontiers and implementing new approaches related to productive aging.

This website has been designed to support such innovation with resources and tools. We invite libraries to use this site and our social media networks for inspiration and collaboration. Together, we hope to build the capacity for continuous renewal and community relevance for public libraries.
