Description

Held on the third Thursday of each month, Memory Cafés provide a safe place for those experiencing memory loss and their care partners to socialize and have fun with others in similar situations.  

During these informal gatherings we’ll start with a familiar song and a “get to know you” question. Followed by a presentation or activity with a simple craft, game, or shared reading to spark memories and conversations. Then we’ll close the program with another short singalong.

At each Café there will be a table with free resources and giveaways, along with books to check out. Snacks, tea, and coffee will be served.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

*We are meeting on the first Thursday in September, instead of our usual third Thursday, due to a library closure on September 19 for Staff Inservice Day.

First time attendees please email Susan at susang@dkpl.org or call (815) 756-9568 ext. 2114 and give names of care partner and guest.
