- Older Adults and School Age Children Together in the Library: A Texas Intergenerational Library Programs Manual. Rubin, Rhea Joyce Age Groups Children Community Programs Demography Elementary Education Elementary School Students Generation Gap Intergenerational Programs Interpersonal Relationship Library Services Older Adults Program Evaluation Public Libraries Sharing Behavior Volunteers Intergenerational activities are any activities planned to be of mutual benefit to more than one age group. This manual concentrates on school-age children and older adults sharing experiences in the library or elsewhere using library materials. The following four models are introduced: (1) Sharing Letters; (2) Sharing Stories; (3) Sharing History; and (4) Sharing Fun. They range from simple to complex, and include one-time and ongoing activities for a library to do alone or with interagency cooperation. Changing demographics mean an increasing number of older adults in Texas and a growing need for services for them. The guide explores how to conduct and evaluate intergenerational programs, including working with older adult volunteers and children. (Contains 57 references.) (SLD)
