The Education & Job Information Center
is a valuable resource for older adults seeking
work, volunteer, educational and travel
opportunities. Use this brochure to find
organizations and institutions with job listings,
course offerings, volunteer listings, as well
as online and electronic resources on a range
of topics of interest to seniors. A great place
to start is the library’s own Services to the
Aging (see below). Find other resource guides produced by the Education & Job Information Center at
