Hallo, I've heard about the Senior Surf Day on October 8th. Do you have a short explenation about that event? And how many libraries took part in there?

The Senior Surf Day has held in Finland for some years as a part of the senior citizens week. In that day the elderly people got to know the information technology (computers, smartphone, tablet computers and the services of internet) in many libraries and service centres all over the Finland.

More than a hundred events was organized in 2013. In some places there was over a hundred participants and in some places just some.

The event is organized by The Central Union for the Welfare of the Aged (Vanhustyön keskusliitto).

You can see the libraries and and service centres from the website of the Central Union for the Welfare of the Aged. Unfortunately the print is just in Finnish or Swedish:
