One can spare some time to motivate and guide the staff and offer services to public. They can do career counselling to local government school students who are deprived of such facility. They can go to any old age home or orphanage etc. and read books for them. If one has the willingness and permissible health there are so many things to do even after retirement (ofcourse not-for-profit).

Dear All,

Iam opening a topic for discussion. All service librarians are going to retir as per the government rules. My point is what should be done after retirement. Library service is a professional task. Even after retirement a librarian can do lot of things related to this profession. In order to spent time happily one can cultivate habbit of reading among the society. One can open a library. There are lot of opportunities to work. You can also suggest other opportunities. Let us start suggesting.......

with regards,
