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 seniors. The speaker is Marika Helovuo (MA), with years of experience in library work and inspiring people to read.

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