June marks Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias that affect millions of people worldwide. This month is an opportunity to support research efforts, educate the public about early detection and prevention, and recognize the caregivers who tirelessly provide care for those affected. By increasing awareness and understanding, we can work together to improve the quality of life for individuals living with dementia and their families.
Libraries play a vital role in providing access to resources on brain health, memory care, and caregiver support. Many libraries offer programs on healthy aging, memory screenings, and information sessions led by experts. Whether you are looking for the latest research, seeking support groups, or exploring books on brain exercises, your local library is here to help.
