Peninsula libraries to host monthly talks about aging

The North Olympic Library System (NOLS) will host “Intentional Aging,” a new monthly discussion group for adults that will explore topics and practices through book discussions, activities, presenters and more.

Meetings will be held on Zoom at 11 a.m. on the third Tuesday of every month beginning Sept. 21. This program is scheduled to run through 2022.

Attending monthly is encouraged, but all are welcome to join any meeting; drop-ins are welcome. Register to receive Zoom login information and free resources at nols.org, by email at discover@nols.org, or by calling 360-417-8500.

Topics for this program are a deeper dive into the Six Dimensions of Aging Well inspired by the “Aging Mastery Playbook” from the National Council On Aging.
