University Libraries and OLLI Launch Seasoned Readers Program for the Members

University Libraries and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute have teamed up to launch the Seasoned Readers Club, an exciting summer reading program created exclusively for OLLI members. Designed to complement the Institute's lectures and events, this program offers an expertly curated reading list that caters to the diverse interests and preferences of OLLI members. After only four months, the program already has 239 members between Boca Raton and Jupiter campuses. 

With a focus on exploration and enrichment, the Seasoned Readers Club allows members to delve into the works of both established and emerging authors, many of whom are also featured as speakers at OLLI events, providing a deeper connection to the topics discussed during lectures.

"The University Libraries are thrilled to announce this partnership with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a collaboration that opens up exciting opportunities for community engagement. This innovative program takes a fresh approach to fostering connections between libraries and the OLLI community. We hope OLLI members embrace this opportunity to enrich their lifelong learning journey through the power of reading," said Dawn Frood, Collection Development Librarian and Curator of Seasoned Readers Club.

Seasoned Readers Club aims to foster a sense of curiosity among OLLI members, encouraging them to continue their lifelong learning journey beyond the classroom or auditorium. By engaging with the librarian-curated reading list, members can discover new literary voices, delve into different genres, and expand their knowledge on subjects relevant to OLLI's programming.

Moreover, the Seasoned Readers Club serves as an introduction to the wide range of resources and services offered by University Libraries. It provides OLLI members with an opportunity to explore the extensive collections, interact with knowledgeable librarians, and fully utilize the resources available to enhance their reading and learning experiences.

Through the Seasoned Readers Club, University Libraries and OLLI aim to create a vibrant community of lifelong learners who embrace the joy of reading, intellectual exploration, and the vital role of libraries in supporting the community's educational and cultural development.
