June is Seniors Month in Ontario, a time to recognize and celebrate the older adults who help shape our families, neighbourhoods, and community.

 

At London Public Library, Seniors Month is also a reminder that learning, creativity, connection, and support are available at every stage of life.

 

Whether you're looking for yourself, a family member, a friend, or someone you support, the Library offers programs, services, and resources with older adults in mind.
