Narodne knjižnice imaju ulogu osmisliti i provoditi programe kako bi zadovoljile potrebe zajednice u kojoj se nalaze. U toj se zajednici žive i osobe treće životne dobi, a za potebe ovog diplomskog rada provedeno je istraživanje metodom anketnog upitnika kako bi se doznalo u kojoj mjeri narodne knjižnice provode programe za navedenu skupinu korisnika. Cilj istraživanja bio je prikazati koji se programi za osobe treće životne dobi najčešće provode, gdje se provode, tko ih provodi i kolika im je posjećenost, a osim rezultata istraživanja u radu se nalazi i teorijska podloga o spomenutoj temi.Public libraries have a role to design and implement programs to meet the needs of the community in which they are located.
