The population in Slovenia and around the world is experiencing ageing. The society and also public libraries must adapt to this phenomenon. With the Master's thesis we are exploring the needs and wishes of active older adults (older adults, who are able to visit the library by themselves) that are related to the public library. We conducted the research in one bigger public library in Slovenia, Ljubljana city library. In 2019 we interviewed 18 members of two daily activity centres in Ljubljana, who were at least 64 years old. We discovered that most of the interviewees are members of Ljubljana city library. They mainly use public library to borrow library material, some of them also attend events organized by the library. Otherwise, we found that some active older adults aren't very familiar with the library's services and activites. The active older adults have expressed great pleasure with the library and it's employees. Ljubljana city library has a great meaning to them. The library's material supports their lifelong learning, for them library is a place where people can socialize with one another. They also showed interest in becoming library's volunteers. The interviewees have made various suggestions for new events. They were particularly interested in reading aloud for those older adults, who have trouble reading. The results can help Ljubljana city library and other public libraries with planning and evaluation of services for older adults.
