Memory Care Kits
Our Memory Care Kit collection is comprised of themed kits available for check-out by cardholders. Kits are currently available at the Central Library, the Arlington branch, and the William Hall Library(opens in a new tab).
Memory care is an essential part of the care of those with cognitive decline/dementia and Alzheimer's. Our kits contain items that help people remember the past; puzzles to help with cognition skills; fidget items to help alleviate stress; and easy crafts that are entertaining and help spark joy.
Themes include topics like Animals, Flowers, Ocean, Nature, Birds, and Classic TV/Movie Stars.
Kit specifics:
- 21 day loan period
- 1 kit per cardholder at a time
- Kits must be returned to the location they were borrowed from during open library hours, and will not fit in the bookdrop
- Overdue fines accrue at $5/day
- Fee for returning item to another location is $5
