Memory Café

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 the DeKalb Public Library will 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 they’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. 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.
