The Educational Benefits of the Public Library

As you’re probably aware, the Internet is a huge source of information. More and more items are being posted on the Internet every day for anyone to access. That means that people are starting to neglect some of the traditional methods of research, like visiting the public library. That’s a real shame, since there are so many benefits to having a library in town.

One thing that’s great about the public library is that you can find books there that are out of print. In fact, there can be books in some libraries that are incredibly old. Those are usually housed in a special area where people can go in and look at the book, but not remove it from the library. The information contained in such books is usually not on the Internet.

Public Libraries – Community-Based Health Clubs For the Brain and Mind?

Public libraries moved beyond just offering books long ago, but only now are demographic and scientific trends converging to sustain a more fundamental transformation in their role. A role in which they explicitly help promote cognitive health in the community, and potentially use Brain Fitness as a new framework to unify an array of lifelong learning, civic engagement, gaming, and health promotion initiatives.

A few months ago I spoke to librarians at The New York Public Library (NYPL), about “The Emerging Brain Fitness Field: Research and Implications.” I provided an introduction to how the brain works, discussed the growing research supporting how lifestyle factors contribute to lifelong cognitive health, and offered a way to navigate through this emerging and confusing field. This was part of NYPL’s first Health & Wellness Month for library staff, which in turn was an important enabler of major health events for older adults.
