The public library is a natural arena for intergenerational programs that can change "agist" attitudes by bringing older adults and youth together. This study determined the degree to which public libraries in western Pennsylvania perceive a need for programming for intergenerational programming, to what extent programs have been developed, and the success of the programs. Questionnaires were sent to 212 public libraries, and 121 (57%) were returned. It was found that while a majority of libraries perceived a need for intergenerational programming, few had actually done any. Only 53 (44%) libraries listed programs for older adults. While 82 (68%) libraries acknowledged the need for intergenerational programs, only 6 had presented them. Reasons included lack of staff, funds, and space. Five tables present study findings. Three appendixes contain a list of intergenerational programs presented in western Pennsylvania, the cover letter, and the survey questionnaire. (Contains 21 references.) (Author/SLD)
