Everyone Welcome
#ElderWisdom is more than just a campaign; it's a movement that encourages society to tap into the profound knowledge, experiences, and insights our seniors have to offer. Every year, Schlegel Villages brings the iconic green bench to public spaces, inviting community members to sit and engage in enriching conversations with our elders. This simple act of sharing time and stories has sparked countless moments of connection, learning, and mutual respect, reinforcing the value of our seniors in today’s fast-paced world.
Celebrate Seniors Month by dropping in to sit and engage on the green bench in the library lobby at our John M. Harper Branch (right outside the doors into the library), and enjoy a moment of connection with an older adult from your community.
Presented in partnership and with Schlegel Villages and the Village at University Gates.

Located on the west side of Waterloo, the John M. Harper Branch shares a building with the Stork Family YMCA. It features soaring ceilings, dedicated study space (including 3 bookable study rooms), a large Community Room and an outdoor courtyard.
