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.
Connection and Creativity
Throughout June and every month, older adults can find programs at the Library that offer relaxed ways to connect, share interests, and enjoy something together.

Connect with other seniors in your neighbourhood through friendly conversation, activities, and games. Drop in, meet new people, and enjoy time together in a welcoming space.
Drop in to knit, crochet, work on a project, or build your skills in a friendly, creative space. Bring your own supplies and enjoy sharing patterns, ideas, and conversation with others.
