Go visit those libraries - fountainheads of activities

Senior tip-- Get on your local library's email list.

A senior called me from his home on a lake Winnipesaukee.

He had just finished walking 4 miles and was about to do some boating or settle down with a good book. He politely chastised me for not mentioning more about library resources.  I agree.  

He explained that he and his wife love libraries and what they have to offer beyond just good books. I mentioned that it is a good place to take an afternoon nap because the libraries have such soft chairs, and he added that he and his wife donated a soft chair to the local library for just such naps and a bit of reading too, of course. 

Here is his list, which is not meant to be exhaustive, of library resources: meet an greet sessions, book clubs, grandkid's programs, museum passes and if they do not have the book you want, they will get it for you. And we agreed that according to our combined experiences, library staff seem to be totally committed to helping you with any resource they have to offer.
