Memory Screening*

Where
Room C

Presented by a Dane County Aging and Disability Resource Center Memory Care Specialist

A memory screen is a wellness tool that helps identify possible changes in memory. It creates a baseline so future changes can be monitored.

Specialists from the Dane County Aging and Disability Resource Center will provide free 10-minute memory screenings at the Library in Room C.

You can also get information about memory, memory clinics, brain health, and local resources.

Memoir Writers

Join us the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month for the library's Memoir Writing Group. Everyone has a story to tell. Share a memory from your life or write about the people, places, and events that helped to shape it.

Bring a copy of your writing to the meeting. At the meeting, share your writing and listen as others read their stories. This is not a critique group but a supportive place to share your writing.

We have members with all skill levels. New members and visitors are always welcome!
