Resource
Center
Goal:
Our goal is to create a Resource Center by gathering and
organizing material relevant to running congregate and community-
based programs for older adults.
Lending
Policy: Materials may be reserved by current members for two
weeks at a time. The New York State Coalition for the Aging Inc.
will send the items to you and you are responsible for the return
by matching mail service. You are also responsible for the cost
and/or replacement of any lost or damaged items. The New York
State Coalition for the Aging, Inc. (NYSCA) is pleased to present
the following selection of resources. Start-up funding for this
project was made possible in 1992 by a grant from the New York
State Office for the Aging. Currently, the Resource Lending Library
is supported by contributors supporting the work of NYSCA in its
efforts to provide training, resources and techical support for
proffessional and organizations in the field of aging. We thank
them all for their continuing support.
Please notify the NYSCA office of additional materials you think
would be beneficial additions to this resource center lending
libary.
