Beginning in 2011 the first wave of baby boomers began retiring. 76 million Americans will move into retirement healthier, better educated, and more energetic than any previous generation. In a sense they will redefine what “retiring” means. Without a doubt, these individuals as a group will change our communities and libraries.  

The ICfL is dedicated to providing information, training, technical assistance, and resources for Idaho libraries and their community partners for all areas relating to mid-life adults.

Our goal is to help libraries better serve and engage midlife adults by positioning libraries as catalysts, resources, meeting places, and partners in creating opportunities for midlife adults to learn, teach, lead, build skills, re-career, and become civically-engaged.
