<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Planning library programs means
planning for the unexpected.</span> This includes programming for the
elderly, where your audience may include people with dementia. How do
you design a program that’s interesting for the group and accessible to
those with dementia or similar conditions?</p>
<p>One idea is to engage each of the senses. Play music that fits the
theme you’ve chosen. Encourage participants to bring related objects
that people could pass around or food they could share. Show images in
books or with a projector; when you can, use photographs instead of
illustrations, and ask people to share their memories.</p>
<p>A company named <a href="http://bifolkal.org/">BiFolkal</a> has a
variety of multimedia kits made especially for this demographic. A quick
survey of the kits’ themes and contents is a great way to generate
ideas on themes you could choose, items you could bring and activities
you could lead.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serving elderly patrons is the
topic of discussion at SWON’s upcoming Outreach Special Interest Group
Meeting</span>, held October 25th at SWON’s office. We’re bringing in a
speaker to talk about Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Senior Adult Resources,
and there will be time for Q&A. Learn more here: <a
