On September 26-27, 2005, Americans for Libraries Council (ALC) and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) convened a Library Leaders Forum, Designs for Change: Libraries and Productive Aging, to examine key issues relating to the aging opportunity. The meeting was held as part of ALC’s Lifelong Access Libraries initiative, which seeks to foster fundamental changes in how librarians provide services and opportunities to active older adults. The initiative is supported by a major grant from The Atlantic Philanthropies; the Library Leaders Forum received additional support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Americans for Libraries Council.
