The library is excited to announce a partnership with LifeStream to provide caregiver resources available for checkout at the library. Our Memory Kits and Parkinson’s kits may be checked out with your library card. These kits include resources and tools for increased interaction between the caregiver and their loved one. When you return the kits, you will receive a resource kit with valuable information to help. Additionally, we have a Care Team Resource Binder available for reference at the library. The resource binder is meant to be an
organizational tool for you to prepare in case someone else may need to step in for you—either temporarily or permanently—and to empower caregivers who help you with care needs.
