Seniors Outreach Series

This pandemic has been difficult for so many people. 

You may be feeling lonely, vulnerable, or isolated. It's hard to realize that. It may be even harder to say it out loud: "I feel lonely..."  If you're a senior or an older adult (or you know someone who is), Milton Public Library hears you, and we're here for you. We want you to feel noticed, included, and cared for.

Please consider this an open invitation: we would LOVE to see you at any of the following Seniors Outreach Series. Please join us!

Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m.

via Zoom

What could be cozier than a book being read aloud to you before bed? This program is tailor-made for seniors and older adults. We'll be reading aloud from short stories, poetry and more...all you have to do is sit back and listen! A peaceful and relaxing way to end your day. This program will take place over Zoom, and the link will be emailed to you the day of the program. Register today!

If you (or a loved one) is a senior who lives at home here in Milton, and you'd like to receive a friendly greeting through the post, please fill out the request form. If you live in a retirement residence in Milton, we've got you covered -- we'll be sending Social Notes to all the homes! If you would like to participate in spreading cheer this year, please submit your artwork using our submission form.
