Becoming a Dementia Friendly Library: Serving People Living with Dementia in Your Community
Friday, June 23, 2017, 9:00AM – 4:00PM
Within the next 10 years the number of Americans living with dementia is expected to rise to 7.1 million. Now is the time to begin addressing the needs of this too often forgotten population. Libraries should be at the forefront of the Dementia Friendly initiative that is emerging across the country. This preconference will provide both background and tools for designing and implementing library programs and services that will transform lives in your community.

Unconference: Accessibility and Education, and its implications for Library Services
Friday, June 23, 2017, 9:00AM – 4:00PM
As we mark the 25th Anniversary of the ADA, it is critical to focus on making education as accessible as possible. I am advocating a gathering that that will examine accessibility and education and its implications for library services. This will be an Unconference, and thus be focused on building community, and helping each conference participant ask questions, and move together toward a more accessible future for their libraries.
