The Del City Library, of The Metropolitan Library System, in conjunction with volunteers from the Senior Health Information Counseling Program, will offer assistance to seniors who want to enroll in Medicare part D, library officials announced today.

Enrollment assistance will be available at the Del City Library, 4509 S.E. 15 th Street, on May 10 th from noon to 4 p.m.

"Signing up for the new Medicare prescription drug coverage can be confusing because there are so many plans to choose from," said Del City librarian Sam Weehunt.

"The people from the Senior Health Information Counseling Program, a state funded nonprofit agency, want to help seniors sign up for the plan that best meets their needs. They will be helping seniors sign up using the Del City Library's internet computers.

Seniors taking advantage of this event are asked to bring their prescription bottles with them.

"This is a come and go event," Weehunt added, "and no one needs to stay the full four hours. Space is limited so we are asking participants to please pre-register."

To pre-register, or for more information, call the library at 672-1377.
