Pick up our new publication, Pastimes, Activities for Adults

EVPL is excited to announce the launch of Pastimes, a brand-new publication designed to enrich the lives of our older community members through engaging learning experiences. Developed by a team at EVPL, Pastimes is more than just a collection of activities; it’s a tool for connection, creativity, and cognitive stimulation.

Pastimes is an activity book filled with a variety of enjoyable and stimulating activities tailored for older individuals, but can be enjoyed by all age groups. From puzzles and word games to art projects and memory exercises, this book is designed to cater to diverse interests and abilities. Whether you’re looking to engage your mind, spark your creativity, or simply have some fun, Pastimes has something for everyone, plus information you can use to get connected with helpful programs and groups in the community. 

We have printed copies of Pastimes available at all EVPL locations, as well as a digital copy that can be printed below. 

We welcome your feedback on this new publication. If you have comments or suggestions for future Pastimes, please contact us at: programming@evpl.org; 812.428.8200 ext. 1440; or fill out a suggestion card at any EVPL location.
