Reading Well for Dementia

In May, libraries across England and Wales launched a new Reading Well for Dementia book list.

Reading Well for dementia recommends helpful reading for people living with dementia. The books provide reliable information, advice and support as well as personal stories. There are also books on the list for family members, friends and carers.

Look out for the Reading Well for dementia books in your local library – they’re free to borrow.

Our libraries also have a collection of Memory Bags and Memory Boxes, which can be borrowed and used to stimulate memories and discussion. There are also a number of dementia friendly jigsaws available which can be borrowed just like a book, and are great for entertainment and cognitive stimulation. For people who can’t get to the library the Home Library Service is there to help.
