Abstract

This study discusses literary and film interests among library patrons in assisted-living residences in a small-town Midwestern context. The importance of library services for seniors is addressed. Popular genres and literary themes are discussed, and the concepts of “relational librarianship” and senior services librarian are advocated. This article attempts to identify popular literary and film genres among seniors living in care facilities for the purpose of enhancing library services for senior citizens.
