Want to host trivia for a group of old friends, run a session at a senior center, or just test yourself, but are sick of the same old trivia questions? This book offers more than 2400 original senior trivia questions in an easy-to-use and novel format. Instead of asking questions players can't answer, this book asks questions players can answer, in a wide variety of interesting and specific categories. Players leave feeling proud of what they've accomplished, but still challenged by the ones they didn't know. Included in the book's thought-provoking but accessible categories are Actresses with actor parents, Woodstock, Watergate, War novels (name the war), Robin Hood, and Nursery rhymes. For the reader's convenience, this is "Grab & Go" trivia where you do not spend time selecting questions; each chapter contains one full trivia session, sequenced to maximize interest and variety. These questions have been developed during years of conducting trivia contests at a municipal senior center. We've seen the group's eyes light up as they recall answers they thought they had forgotten, triggering memories from years before. You'll love having the same experience.

Age is an important number, but it can also be deceiving. After 40, most people say they feel younger than their years, some lie about their age, and many attempt to hide the signs of growing old. Better with Age addresses the many myths and paradoxes about the aging process. Although most people think of their later years in terms of decline, they can be one of the best times in life. This book presents the latest scientific research about the psychology of aging, coupled with insights from those who have succeeded in doing it well, such as Maya Angelou, Bob Newhart, Jared Diamond, John Glenn, and John Wooden. We are all aging, and many people are concerned about what to expect with advancing years. Retirement, happiness, and brain health are some of the many topics covered in this book. Better with Age shows what we can do now, at any stage in life, to make sure we enjoy old age.

Not only does this book offer insights into how to better serve all seniors, but it also provides complete step-by-step instructions for dozens of exciting and engaging programs that can be held both onsite and offsite. While serving the senior population is a standard service in public libraries, it has traditionally focused on in-house programs and homebound services. On the Go with Senior Services is different. With this inspiring and practical guide, your library can rejuvenate its in-house services with new programs and also take them on the road—to retirement and assisted living communities, adult day care programs, and nursing homes and rehab centers. With such diversity in the senior population, this book describes strategies for designing senior programs that fit your community's needs. It offers a trove of templates for programs that range from crafts, word games, pop culture, pets, holidays, humor, mysteries, technology, and music. It offers tips and suggestions on how to interact with seniors, including those who may have a variety of physical and cognitive needs. There are also guidelines for working with individuals suffering from dementia. A robust list of further resources is provided. The growing population of seniors presents librarians with new challenges and opportunities, and this book is a valuable guide to navigating and embracing them.
