Aug. 31 Memory Café at the Library features backyard birding

Transylvania County Library

The Transylvania County Library is excited to present its next Memory Café on the topic of “Backyard Birding” Monday, Aug. 31 at 10:30 a.m.

This free program is hosted in the library’s Rogow Family Community Room half-kitchen and will include a presentation by Carolina Nature Tours bird guide Kevin Burke followed by a short activity.

The Memory Café is a social gathering for those experiencing early-stage Alzheimer’s, dementia or mild memory loss that aims to create a gathering place for other community members who are managing a memory loss diagnosis to connect with any accompanying family, friends, or care partners in attendance.

The meeting will run for an hour. Therapy dogs from 5 Paws Therapy Group will greet attendees. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided in addition to take-home resources, including information from the Alzheimer’s Association and Transylvania County Department of Social Services.

Pre-registration for this event reserves two seats at the Memory Café and will be available until Monday, Aug. 31 at 10:30 a.m.
