THOUGHTFULLY SELECTED
Books that help libraries serve the whole community
Nana’s Books Foundation provides books that help children, teens, adults, families, and caregivers better understand Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, disabilities, caregiving, and related experiences.
Books are selected to offer useful, accessible resources for readers at different ages and stages of life, expanding the library’s collection in areas that can be difficult for families to navigate on their own.
These books give readers another way to explore experiences affecting their own lives or someone they love.
