Libraries As Brain Health Centers
On October 3, 2012 there was a Pre-Conference session at the Idaho Library Association Conference called “Transforming Your Library Into A Brain Health Center.” Libraries as brain health centers is a concept that can increase the library’s role as a community hub. Dr. Paul Nussbaum and Stephen Ristau presented a workshop on this topic. The five domains of the Brain Health Lifestyle are:
- Socialization
- Physical Activity
- Mental Stimulation
- Spirituality
- Nutrition
An archive of the morning session, workshop handouts, and summary of the small group work done by participants are available for those unable to attend the workshop here: http://libraries.idaho.gov/page/brain-health
