OASIS Inspiration

In a meeting today at our Pittsburgh OASIS I was inspired by the accomplishments of our local OASIS as well as the OASIS Institute. If you haven't discovered an OASIS near you, it will be well worth your time to check out their innovations touching lives daily:

Active Living Everyday
Active Generations
Intergenerational Tutoring
OASIS Connections: New (Computer) Skills for the Next Step

Community organizations like OASIS and other lifelong learning programs provide an invaluable resource to the older adult population and a potential for synergistic partnerships with local libraries!

ACLA has enjoyed connecting with OASIS on programs like the OASIS Active Living Everyday, PALS/ACLA Book Club, ACLA Conversation Salon, and our traveling genre series featuring expert library staff. We have also had collaborative author events, continuing education opportunities, and other community wide events.
