Summary:
This article outlines the importance of library
programming for the community. The programs that are focused on primarily are
those that are designed to help those afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease and
their families/caregivers to feel less isolated. Programs such as the Memory
Project in Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin have enjoyed a great participation rate
and successfully helped form new bonds within the community.
Evaluation:
I enjoyed this article because I myself have known
family and friends who have suffered with Alzheimer’s disease and I saw
firsthand how difficult it was for their families. I feel that programs like
the Memory Café are great resources for caregivers and sufferers alike to not
feel so isolated when dealing with this devastating disease.
