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 Vuosaari Library's autumn 2026 programme "Love is Seen and Felt", which includes group singing, author visits, a love poetry competition, and speed dating.
