Memory Kits
The Readers Café To Go Memory Kits include books, a range of themed tactile items, a manipulative or fidget, and an activity sheet designed for caregivers of those living with memory loss. Each kit has a centering theme to spark memories from various life stages.
These kits were made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Marshall-Lyon County Library.
Kits can be checked out for one week and renewed twice.
