Abstract

As Canada’s population ages, a growing subset of aging baby boomers is providing care and companionship to elders. What role does the public library play as a place in the lives of these patrons? This qualitative research project seeks to understand the characteristics and behaviours of this user group.

Avec le vieillissement de la population canadienne, un nombre croissant de baby-boomers vieillissant prennent soins et s’occupent du bien-être des aînés. Quel est le rôle des bibliothèques publiques dans la vie de ces usagers? Ce projet de recherche qualitatif cherche à comprendre les caractéristiques et les comportements de ce groupe d’usagers.
