Summary:

This guide to pre-and post-retirement strategies, written by librarians and retirement planners, should be a valuable asset for librarians considering or preparing for retirement. Written in an accessible style, the anthology presents a number of subjects many prospective retirees may not have considered other than the obvious topics like retirement options and Social Security. A sampling of those subjects includes: financial and investment planning, learning frugality, maintaining and protecting credit, returning to school, volunteering, health insurance, retiring graciously, and relocating after retirement. Smallwood is an editor and librarian with experience in a variety of settings. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
