Dementia-Friendly Collection

Our dementia-friendly collection has been carefully developed to support everyone—not just those experiencing dementia. With a wide selection of engaging and approachable resources, this collection is designed to help keep minds active, curious, and connected, at a pace that feels right for you.

You’ll find the collection on the ground floor, near the audiobook section at Te Kahu o Waipuna and near the large print books in Picton Library. Take some time to browse and discover how these resources can encourage connection, spark enjoyment, and offer meaningful support for individuals, carers, friends, and whānau.
