THE NEXT CHAPTER Collection

THE NEXT CHAPTER collection, created with a gift to the library from Bob and Carroll Heideman and RSVP of Dane County, is a one-stop shop where retirees or persons approaching retirement can find the information they need to take charge of their future and create a life they love living. The collection consists of books, DVDs, magazines, and other information, complimented by an electronic newsletter sent every other month. Currently housed at the Alicia Ashman Branch, the collection is supplemented by related materials in all Madison Public libraries. As part of the collaboration, RSVP and Madison Public Library also present programs throughout the year on aging, health, financial planning for retirement, the benefits of volunteering, and other related topics.
