Libraries As Brain Health Centers

Posted by on October 25th, 2012 Posted in: Training & Education

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
