Age-Friendly Public Services: Rethinking Libraries & Fire Companies in Rural Tompkins County
Chenming Zhang, Kanij Fateema & Kathy Lim
The Public Services project focuses on enhancing the role of libraries and fire companies in serving the older adult population in rural areas. The initiative aims to transform these community hubs into more age-friendly spaces, offering programs and services that cater to the needs and interests of older adults. By leveraging these local institutions, the project strives to improve social interaction, digital literacy, and overall well-being among the older adults in these communities.
