How to provide library service to seniors, the most vulnerable population affected during COVID-19, has been the question raised by outreach librarians across the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), eight out of ten deaths related to COVID-19 are individuals aged sixty-five years and older. While we might not be able to visit our seniors or facilities in-person for the foreseeable future, libraries can still reach this population while they shelter in place. During this webinar David Kelsey of the St. Charles (IL) Public Library District and Glenna Godinsky of the Gail Borden Public Library District (Elgin, IL) will recommend tips and tricks for serving the senior demographic during COVID-19.
