[Publib] Adult Outreach Programming

[cherrman]

Hello,

The Library I work for has suddenly begun to receive requests for staff to travel to facilities to do programs for adults or to read to adults.  These facilities offer programs for older adults, alzheimers patients, and adults with issues due to strokes or accidents.  I have several questions about this:

1.  Does your library offer this service?

2.  How do you handle requests?  Is there a main person in charge of scheduling and doing the program?

3.  How do you train staff to read to adults?

4.  Do you have a name for this service?

Any and all help and information is appreciated.

Thank you.
