This looks like a very interesting research proposal from Canada, to take a closer look at the role public libraries play in the lives of older people who are also carers for a family member.
"The key research questions this study will attempt to answer are:
- What role does the public library play as a place in the lives of baby boomers who provide care and/or companionship to elders?
- What are the characteristics, needs, and behaviours of this growing segment of the population served by public libraries?
The exploratory nature of the research questions suggests that a qualitative methodological approach to research design is appropriate."
