The Memphis Library Foundation partnered with Creative Aging Mid-South to present the Senior Studio program, which provides a plethora of engaging activities for seniors to enjoy. This endeavor was made possible through generous grant funding from ArtsMemphis and the Tennessee Arts Commission.
Thanks to the ingenuity of the Memphis Library Foundation’s first executive director, Diane Jalfon, and generous funding from the Kresge Foundation, the Libraries Inside/Out project provided exterior improvements to the Cornelia Crenshaw Library in South Memphis and the Randolph Library in Highland Heights.
From preschoolers to seniors and everyone in between, the library is a hub of access for each and every Memphian. Here’s a glimpse into what we have been up to lately:
