MADISON, Wis. (PRWEB) October 31, 2018 -- Demco Software has partnered with the American Library Association’s Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Interest Group and a Library Journal 2015 Movers & Shakers winner to hold a free webinar on November 6, 2018 called Make Your Library Dementia Friendly. Webinar presenters will share some tried and true strategies that libraries can leverage to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for community members living with dementia and their caregivers.

“We’re constantly seeking out thought leaders who can offer our audience of public libraries a fresh perspective on community engagement,” said Demco Software Marketing Director Kayla Fargo. “People living with dementia and their caregivers are an ever-growing segment of the population, and public libraries are uniquely positioned to engage that segment. We’re excited to offer tools and ideas that empower public libraries to embrace such an important role within their communities.”

In this webinar, our experts will share with attendees:
1. Concrete initiatives that serve as successful models across diverse communities
2. Methods that outreach and medical librarians can use to serve these unique populations
3. Plans that state libraries can develop for addressing the needs of this often forgotten population

Librarians, outreach coordinators, and leadership from public libraries can register for the free webinar at: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7172524858147529987?source=Press+Release.
