Age Ready Series — July 18, 2026

The University of South Carolina College of Social Work is partnering with local organizations and offices to bring easy-to-understand and accessible information to help older adults and caregivers stay independent, informed, and connected.

These programs are a part of the Age Ready series that seeks to teach life skills to promote independence for older adults. They are an extension of the aging-in-place research through the Healthy Aging Research and Technology Lab and the SmartHOME Center for Economic Excellence.

Sessions will be at 2 p.m. on the third Saturday of every month from March until October at Richland Library North Main.

All sessions will also be broadcast live over Zoom. The link can be found on each of the sessions' event page on the library's website: www.richlandlibrary.com These sessions are an hour long and are designed for adults.
