An important part of staying healthy as you age is staying engaged physically and socially. The City of Salem along with concerned citizens, and the 501(c)3 nonprofit Friends of Center 50+, collaborated to create Center 50+ as a non-membership community center providing programs and services to adults age 50 and older. Other programs throughout the City provide help in specialized areas.

With our public library still closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, our Everyday Biking Program is going digital! The public is invited to a panel and small groups discussion covering many areas of interest in biking. Local advocates and experienced riders will give info and answer questions on a variety of topics: rules of the road, best Salem routes, commuting by bike, recreational riding, biking clubs/communities, bike mechanics/gear, riding bikes with children, and Neighborhood Greenways. After short introductions, we will use breakout rooms to allow each participant to dig into the topic/s of their choice in this flexible event.

Salem Public Library invites you join us as we continue a three-part discussion series focused on supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. Participants can prepare using resources available through the library and the Internet. In this series of community conversations, staff will act as facilitators and work to establish a respectful and supportive space for everyone to contribute their thoughts, share questions, and explore the ideas from the readings and videos. Each of the three discussions will have its own focus: Session 1: Today & Yesterday (January 21); Session 2: Understanding LGBTQIA+ (February 23); Session 3: Effective Allyship (March 23). We ask that you prepare for these discussions by reading or watching at least one entry from the suggested resources list for each month.
