Libraries: Cataloging Books

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for cataloging the Reading2Connect books? Many new Reading2Connect library workers ask about this.

We haven't actually cataloged them yet, but we did improvise a way to spot the matching sets easily. We have a short length of colored 1/8" ribbon tied to the spines. Each set of 4 has a different color. The single-copy books will be placed into book boxes that have the covers facing you as you browse.

Spreading the word about your Reading2Connect Books in your Library

Along this topic, here is a 2-min video with Lynne Haynes (Kirkwood, MO) explaining how she let people in her community know about the Reading2Connect books.

Thank you, Lynne, for your insight!


I hope others will feel free to share more ideas :)

How to get the word out about Reading2Connect!

Some library workers are asking how other libraries have created interest in Reading2Connect in their community. For many libraries, it's a challenge getting the patrons who would benefit from this resource to come into the library and try it.


I have ideas that have been shared with me, but let's see if any library workers have some possible solutions.

Resources exploring the preserved ability to read amidst dementia

Many have asked for such references. There are very few. Here are some good ones.

  1. Teepa Snow Webinar

  2. Great Britain's Alzheimer's Society article

  3. The best review of literature on this topic that I have seen was recently published by Mary Beth Riedner

  4. A small, published study measuring the impact of reading on Memory Care residents
