Did you know that May is Older Americans Month? This annual celebration began in 1963 with a presidential proclamation from President John F. Kennedy. Each year the President signs a proclamation regarding Older Americans Month in celebration of the achievements and contributions of the nation's older persons.
This month, MPL is offering an informational program for the older patrons in our community.
