Celebrate Older Americans Month

From 1963 until 1973, May was referred to as Senior Citizens Month. In May 1974, President Jimmy Carter changed the name to Older Americans Month.
Each year, the Administration for Community Living, an organization of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, selects a theme for Older Americans Month. This year’s theme, “Safe Today. Healthy Tomorrow,” focuses on injury prevention.
In celebration of the 2014 Older Americans Month, the DC Public Library system will offer a variety of programs at the Anacostia, Capitol View, Dorothy I Height/ Benning, Georgetown, Mt. Pleasant, Petworth, Southwest, Takoma Park and West End neighborhood libraries.
