Why Reading?

Reading is one of the most accessible and rewarding activities for retirees. Whether you prefer fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, or poetry, reading keeps your mind active and engaged. Book clubs add a social element, allowing you to discuss and share insights with fellow readers.

With libraries, e-readers, and audiobooks, there are more ways than ever to enjoy reading. Many communities have senior book clubs, and libraries often offer special programs for older adults, including large-print books and reading assistance.
