A memory cafe is a social gathering for those who are experiencing early-stage dementia, mild memory loss, or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and for their families, friends, or care partners.

The Library Memory Project is a partnership between public libraries in Jefferson, Waukesha, Washington, and Racine counties with a mission to provide programs to those affected by memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia.

There are currently 21 public libraries involved in the Project: 

• Lake Country Memory Project (Pewaukee, Delafield, Hartland, North Lake, and Oconomowoc)
• Glacial River Library Memory Project (Jefferson, Whitewater, Fort Atkinson, and Palmyra)
• Waukesha Memory Cafe (Waukesha)
• Wild Plum Memory Project (Germantown, Sussex, Elm Grove, Brookfield, Menomonee Falls)
• Purple Springs Memory Project (Mukwonago, Eagle, and Waterford).
