The Library Memory Project, an initiative of Bridges Library System, is a partnership between public libraries in Jefferson and Waukesha Counties with a mission to provide programs to those affected by memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia.

Libraries involved in the memory project offer memory cafés and educational programs on memory loss and brain health. A memory café is a social gathering for those who are experiencing early stage dementia, mild memory loss or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and for their families, friends, or care partners.

There are currently 21 public libraries involved in the Library Memory Project.
