2025 Spring Fundraising Campaign: “The Creative Age”
In 2024, the library launched “The Creative Age” program, an art series for individuals ages 55 and older, made possible by a federal grant through the Missouri State Library. To continue this program that benefits older adults mentally, socially and emotionally, the DBRL Foundation aims to raise $4,500 to fund two more eight-week sessions of “The Creative Age,” reaching an additional 25 students each time at the Columbia Public and Callaway County Public Libraries.
