Local senior citizens are invited to explore reference publications, view rare photograph collections and learn how to use computers during "Senior Day at Norlin Library," at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder.
The event will be held Jan. 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Center for British Studies in Norlin Library room M549. The event is sponsored by The Friends of the Libraries, an organization that encourages community members to use university library resources.
"Senior Day at Norlin Library," is free and open to the public and reservations are not required.
Seniors will have the opportunity to tour Norlin Library and learn where to find medical encyclopedias, tax information, periodicals and children's books. They can participate in a demonstration and training session on how to use electronic technology to research various topics. There also will be a tour of the Special Collections department, which contains the university's treasured rare documents and letters.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch and stay for the afternoon sessions of touring and demonstrations.
"We want seniors to get to know the university libraries and know that they are welcome," said Joy Habenicht, a member of The Friends of the Libraries.
Paid parking will be available at the Euclid Autopark or attendees can take the HOP bus, which stops just outside the east entrance of Norlin Library. For more information call 303-492-8275.
