Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Thesis/goal – The aim of the article is to attempt to identify and formally and thematically organize the forms of cultural animation used in work with the oldest library users, and to indicate examples showing good practices in this area. Method – the method of literature analysis was used combined with the analysis of sources in the form of statistical summaries and library websites. Conclusions – Demographic forecasts for developed countries predict a gradual increase in the percentage of people over 60 in the general population. This is due to the gradual improvement of living standards and advances in medicine. Library statistics confirm the higher percentage of seniors among library users observed in recent years. Therefore, there is a justified need to take greater account of services and activities addressed to seniors when developing library work programs.
