JM, Newton MA WHAT WE DO: DWN HUB & Transition Navigator™ Program to browse books, journals, and other print and web information on topics such as work, lifelong learning, health issues, civic engagement, financial planning, and leisure activities. The DWN HUB is an idea realized. Located in a sunny apse on the third floor of the Newton Free Library, the DWN HUB is a clearinghouse of information, direction and connection for those making the journey to or transition through retirement. Shelves are filled with books, periodicals, pamphlets, brochures and loose-leaf binders. HUB computers provide access to relevant online resources and databases. The HUB is staffed approximately 20 hours a week by Transition Navigators™, a team of volunteers who help visitors figure out what they want and need, then identify how those needs can be met. Transition Navigators™ also provide information, evaluation, and recommendations about community resources. The HUB is open (see location map below) whenever the library is open, but staffed only during hours posted on the DWN website at the beginning of the month. Visitors may either drop in or call ahead at 617-796-1419 and make an appointment to meet with a Transition Navigator™.
