Collections for Cognitive Decline

Abstract

There is a unique and growing population which is often ignored in public libraries: the elderly, especially those who may be suffering some cognitive decline. They need books, but not just any book. Finding appropriate materials that are easy to follow, comfortable to read, and yet still geared towards adults can be challenging, but it is possible and can really make a difference for this often-overlooked group of patrons.
