- Notes:
- Explores the need for libraries to re-think their strategies and services to Baby Boomers, not only because they are a large market but one that is a bellwether for future generations. For instance, Generation X and Y are already showing signs that they've adopted the Boomers' outlook on old age. Developing new outreach and new ways of looking at services to Boomers could establish library programming for generations to come.
