of Things trend by launching their Spice Library, a project that grew from their 2022 summer reading program that focused on exploring world cultures and religions.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Suicide is a national public health issue that impacts people from all walks of life, regardless of whether or not they have served in the military. However, the suicide rate among Veterans was
52% higher than non-Veteran adults in the U.S. in 2019, and Veteran suicides represent approximately 22% of all suicide deaths in the U.S. (2021 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report). Libraries are well positioned to provide information and referral
services to connect Veterans and members of military communities with Veterans Health Administration programs and initiatives that address risks and protective factors for suicidal behaviors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

materials uniquely suited to each individual, following the tenets of person-centered care. Presenters will share simple ways to create more dementia-friendly libraries and provide examples of literacy activities and programs hosted at libraries and memory
cafes around the world, including oral reading, browsing through books, singing, choral reading of poetry, and word games. Previously held misconceptions will dissolve when you see how libraries of all sizes can positively impact people living with dementia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
