Seniors in the Spotlight

When did you last read a book where an older person was the main character? This lecture explores how literature portrays love, longing, and new possibilities for happiness among people in their senior years. The speaker is Marika Helovuo (MA), a library professional with years of experience in inspiring people to read.

The event is part of Tölö Library's "Love Seen and Felt" event series in autumn 2026. The programme includes group singing, author visits, a love poetry competition, and speed dating.
