Adult Programming: Social & Community Engagement / Financial Literacy & Legal Resources

Provide ideas for adult programming in public libraries.

Social & Community Engagement

Social & Community Engagement

Volunteer Opportunities: Libraries sometimes provide opportunities for adults to engage in community service or volunteer within the library or at local events.

Civic Engagement & Advocacy: Programs that focus on community issues, voting, or social justice.

Social Groups & Meetup Events: These could include game nights, trivia events, or gatherings for specific interests (e.g., gardening, knitting, or history buffs).

Financial Literacy & Legal Resources

Financial Literacy & Legal Resources

Local banks may be available for programs. There are some non-profit who will come and help elderly with taxes at no cost. Check your community or county and see what might be available.

Money Management: Programs that teach budgeting, saving, retirement planning, and investing.

Legal Aid Clinics: Some libraries offer free legal advice or consultations for adults needing assistance with personal matters (e.g., housing, family law, or estate planning).

Tax Help: During tax season, many libraries provide free tax assistance or workshops to help individuals prepare their tax returns.
