I been to a library that did this.
See they had this book with a quick note about the person like: age, what they did for a living, where they were born, any major events they lived through like WW2, than had thier picture and a list of things they talk about.
You find who you wanted to speaking with than was given a list of days they had open and you picked a day and time to meet.
It was all a list of elderly people in the retirement home down the street. It let them get to talk about what life was like which is what they remember more, got them out and about, and made them really happy.
The best part about it is you get to talk to people who was first hand went through many things. Like I spoke to a woman who told me how she went through the great depression. How when the market crashed her father tried to leap to his death but a man pushed him out the way so he could jump out the window. And it turned out to be his own boss. So he just emptied his desk and went home.
