Carla Nitti, Access and Inclusion Librarian, will be sharing short readings and poems which are aimed at encouraging people to reminisce about their memories and join in with the discussion. There will be free refreshments.

The event is open to all, including people with dementia and their carers.  The organiser is used to doing sessions with people with dementia who might go off topic, or need to get up, or who might be very quiet and find it difficult to join in, so if people are interested in bringing a loved one but are worried about anything like that you can reassure them.

If you have any enquiries contact Carla 01629 533454.

Drop in and join us to have a go at making some simple crafts using recycled books. Suitable for complete beginners! Free refreshments will be provided.

For more information ask staff or call Chapel Library on 01629 533962.
