Create Senior Areas in Libraries with our Dementia Care Library Program

Memory Care Initiative for Libraries

We are excited to introduce a suite of resources developed in collaboration with MindCare, dedicated to supporting memory care in library settings. Our focus is on enhancing the quality of life for individuals with memory issues and providing comprehensive support to caregivers and library staff.

We have been astounded that every time we talk about this initiative, in our year of research and engagement activities, everyone shares an emotional personal story and experience. This comes from their hearts and caring for their communities, friends, and families. This can be one of the fastest growing audiences in public library communities and beyond given the unfortunate increasing aging in our society. Our journey has motivated us as we developed these resources.
