Are you looking at your customers and suddenly realizing you need to think about older adult services?
Do you find yourself directing older adults to Internet workstations then leaving them to struggle on their own because you lack the time to give them the assistance they need due to other demands?
Do you wonder what other needs your older population might have?
According to the recent study of Latinos Online, Latinos comprise 14% of the U.S. adult population but only about half of this growing group (56%) goes online. By comparison, 71% of non-Hispanic whites and 60% of non-Hispanic blacks use the Internet. Only 29% of Latino adults have a broadband Internet connection at home. Libraries can help bridge the gap in Latino Internet access and usage by providing group and individual instruction to the Spanish speaking community.
