The Life Themed Branch of the Hangzhou Public Library recently kicked off a special event series, under the theme “Wisdom Between the ‘Lines’,” to honor and celebrate senior citizens.

The centerpiece of this campaign is a book exhibition titled “Wisdom Between the ‘Lines” in the first-floor lobby, curated specially for older readers. From health tips to classic literature, food recipes, and mental wellness guides, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

To ensure that elders could fully benefit from the resources of the library, the staff provide personalized guidance on using the library’s facilities. They patiently teach visitors how to use computers to search for books and operate self-service machines, and recommend books based on their interests. Many older readers have expressed gratitude for the staff’s helpful and considerate assistance.

Later in the month, the Life Themed Branch of the library will unveil two new exhibitions in the third-floor reading area: Home Safety Science Fair and Beyond Labels. The former will offer practical tips on things they can do to prevent injuries at home. The latter will showcase inspiring stories of older individuals, encouraging visitors to maintain a positive outlook and embrace life’s endless possibilities.
