Support dementia-friendly libraries so that people with Alzheimer's and other dementias can again enjoy a good read!

Sally from Island Bay

Thank you for backing and sharing our Kickstarter campaign, to support dementia-friendly book groups at public libraries. Follow this link to make your pledge, thank you!
www.kickstarter.com...

Dovetale Press want to give people living with
dementia the pleasure of sharing a great read at
the public library, improving social connection
and confidence. If successful, their Kickstarter
campaign will provide six sets of five Dovetale
Press dementia-friendly books to 20 New
Zealand public libraries. That’s 600 books in all,
or a set of books for shared reading in a group
of six people at 20 public libraries across New
Zealand. If pledging meets 200% success, then
40 libraries will benefit with 1200 books shared
in groups, and so forth. Participating libraries
also receive a digital resource with suggestions
on how to run a dementia-friendly book group.
The Dovetale Press series has been produced
after years of research into reading and
dementia, through the University of Otago and
with support from Bupa NZ.
