Seniors Week

Seniors Week runs 19-27 August. It is an opportunity for the people of all ages to join together aims to and celebrate the valuable contribution of seniors in the community.

Seniors Week aims to:

• improve community attitudes towards older people and ageing
• facilitate community participation and activity by older people, including those from Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
• enhance community connections and inter-generational relationships.

Libraries celebrates with Online Shopping for Seniors sessions, funded by the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services and supported by COTA Queensland and facilitated by professionals from the Smile I.T. Group. Sunshine Coast Council’s Community Planning and Development will provide free morning and afternoon tea for attendees. 

Activities and events will incorporate technology themes during Seniors Week to highlight library resources and programs.

The community is also invited to join in the As I Age conversation by writing statements and thoughts about the journey of aging on two interactive modular chalk boards which will be installed at specific branches. The 2m x 2m boards will be on display during this week.
