Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia can be overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Join us at the Library for a four-part Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Series, presented in partnership with the Wyoming Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. These free educational programs are designed to provide practical information, emotional support, and local resources for caregivers and family members navigating memory loss and dementia-related challenges.

The series will take place on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 PM in the Library’s Crawford Room. You’re welcome to attend any or all sessions—no need to commit to the full series. Each class features expert guidance, real-world caregiving strategies, and time for Q&A.
