Memory & Sensory Kits
Games, Activities, and More!
The Outreach Department at the Dover Public Library has a collection of over 30 Memory and Sensory Kits available for checkout by individuals, caregivers, or care facilities.
Our collection of Memory and Sensory Kits was started in February of 2022 with support from federal Institute of Museum and Library Services funds, granted through the State Library of Ohio. In 2024, we added more kits with the support of our Friends of the Dover Public Library. Kit themes include Cats, Canal Dover, and Brain Games. The Memory and Sensory Kits are designed for all levels of cognitive ability and are full of fun, engaging activities for seniors, families, and caregivers.
Memory & Sensory Kits circulate for 21 days. There is a limit of one kit per adult card.
