<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi Friends,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I received this email from a Ph.D. student requesting information about intergenerational programming happening in Texas. I’ve reached out to my sources in the state for information on what’s happening in Texas. The student also asks
about initiatives that I might know about in other states. Do any of you have targeted state library initiatives aimed at increasing intergenerational interactions? If so, with your permission, I’d love to pass on your information to this student as a possible
resource.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>

am conducting research on intergenerational programs/activities that libraries provide to increase interaction between <b>older people and children/adolescent/young people</b> in the era of aging, such as intergenerational reading/oral history/games/arts/tech-help
and so on.</span></p>
