City of Corona promotes senior programs fostering community and transformation

The Corona City Library Board of Trustees meeting on June 24, 2025, highlighted the community's commitment to enhancing local services and fostering connections among residents. A key focus was the positive impact of city programs on mental and physical health, particularly for seniors.

Ashley Saragosa, a representative from the city, shared inspiring stories of transformation among seniors who participate in various activities offered by the library. She noted how these programs have helped individuals move from isolation to engagement, with many seniors now enjoying line dancing and community parties. Saragosa emphasized the importance of creating a welcoming environment where residents feel like family and are encouraged to take advantage of the resources available to them.

In addition to the discussions on community engagement, the board also reviewed recent collaborations with local businesses, including a tour of Latitude 36 Foods, a food manufacturer in Corona. This partnership aims to strengthen local economic ties and promote community wellness through accessible food options.

The meeting underscored the library's role as a vital community hub, providing not only resources but also a space for social interaction and personal growth. As the board continues to explore ways to enhance library services, the focus remains on fostering a sense of belonging and improving the quality of life for all residents in Corona.
