Join us for a new book club that meets at various pubs and coffee houses in West Bend each month! Enjoy a beverage of your choice and have fun talking about books! Email sdavister@westbendlibrary.org for more information.
Memory Cafes are places where persons with MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment), early stage Alzheimer's, or a related dementia can go with their care partners to socialize and have fun with other people going through similar things. Cafes provide a time where you do not need to focus on the diagnosis, while having a great time connecting with each other as a family or creating new friendships!
