Educational panel presented by Dr. Timothy Dickey with Mary Beth Riedner and Angela Meyers at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, IL.
Panelists in the session “Memory Cafés and Library Dementia Services” will offer concrete and practical guidance for libraries’ programming for persons living with dementia. Attendees will receive both research and anecdotal evidence for the impact of Memory Cafés and other programming for dementia, as well as a wealth of practical guidance for starting their own Memory Café: planning, event topics, funding, marketing, community partners, resources and training. Come hear the wisdom and experience of librarians who have already moved outside their comfort zones, working with the dementia community, and developing Memory Cafés and other programs and services to meet their needs.
