North Carolina Collaboration on Lifelong Learning & Engagement (NCCoLLE)
The mission of the North Carolina Collaboration on Lifelong Learning and Engagement (NCCoLLE) is to foster the development of planning, policies and activities among partner organizations that will support lifelong learning and civic engagement among older adults. In particular, the Collaboration is exploring ways in which the state’s public libraries can develop new resources, services and approaches to working with older adults that will allow the growing number of baby boomers who are approaching retirement to continue to be vital contributors locally, nationally and globally. The Collaboration will also set a standard for statewide outreach and partnership that will increase our understanding of how cultural institutions such as libraries can work with other public and private organizations to improve the quality of life for older adults and their communities.
NCCoLLE is a designated Center of Excellence and Innovation in the Lifelong Access Initiative of Libraries for the Future (LFF), the first statewide initiative to receive this honor. The founding members of the Collaboration are the UNC Institute on Aging, the NC Division of Aging & Adult Services, the School of Information and Library Science at UNC Chapel Hill and the State Library of North Carolina.
