Abstract: LIFEPATTERNS often change for persons at about the age of 65 when they retire from the occupations they have pursued.Then they may have new social, psychological and physiological problems which make them exceptional individuals and class them with other disadvantaged groups-the poor, the mentally ill and the physically handicapped.Librarians, in their pursuit of the ideal of library service to all, are concerned with the reading needs and interests of these people and ask themselves questions such as the following: Are these people really very different from average adults?Do they have special reading needs and, if so, how are libraries dealing with them?What research has been done in this area and what needs to be done?DIFFERENCES BETWEEN READING
