All Ages Community Resource Center Launched at Library
On October 25, 2017 Mayor John Birkner officially anounced the launch of a new community resource center in the Westwood Public Library providing residents of all ages, but particularly older adults, with materials that will help them access a variety of resources in the areas of health and wellness, transportation, legal aid, housing and more. The center will be staffed for a few hours each week with volunteer Westwood for All Ages Docents who will help older residents utilize this space effectively and share timely and relevant information in the above areas.
