Forget Me Not Resource Ce nter at Effingham Public Library
November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month, a time to heighten aw areness about Alzheimer's disease and show support for the more than 6.2 mi llion Americans living with it.
Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness and Effingham Public Library have c ollaborated to provide a collection of books, DVDs and reminisce kits that can help caregivers learn about their loved one’s diagnosis and the importa nce of caring for themselves too.
“One hidden gem that I would highly recommend people checking out is t he reminisce kits.” Johnna Schultz, Assistant Director, shared. “These them ed kits that have everyday items help caregivers connect with their loved o nes using the senses of touch or smell.”
Materials in the Forget Me Not Resource Center were donated by Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness and are available for checkout to anyo ne. A library card is not necessary to borrow items from this collection. < /span>
“We’ve always lived outside of the library’s boundaries. So we knew that we needed to pay for a card to b e able to check out books from the library. When we approached Effingham Pu blic Library about hosting this collection, we knew this collection needed to be as accessible as possible so we worked with them to find a solution – and we’re so grateful we did!” Shannon Nosbisch, co-founder o f Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness, and Dieterich resident explained. “ This solution helped us put Forget Me Not Resource Centers in 7 other libra ries in our region!”
The Forg et Me Not Resource Center at Effingham Public Library is on the second floo r in the adult nonfiction section. Materials from this collection can be ch ecked out for two weeks. The library is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
