Emerging community programs in libraries and museums provide notable opportunities for promoting engagement and inclusivity, but these programs have yet to receive in-depth assessments and analyses to guide future research and practice. This paper presents a case study examining a social and storytelling program for people with dementia run by a Canadian public library. It investigates two research questions: How can public library programs contribute to community-based dementia care? And what are public libraries\u2019 strengths and challenges in running programs for people with dementia? The study involves participant observations of the program and semi-structured interviews with people with dementia, caregivers, and program facilitators (librarians and Alzheimer Society coordinators). Through thematic analysis of fieldnotes and transcripts, the study reveals how this inclusive platform supports engagement, fosters relationships, helps caregivers, and reaches broader communities. This research further uncovers the librarians\u2019 diversified roles as demonstrated through their collaboration with professionals, preparation and research, and facilitation of the sessions. This paper advances librarianship research on enriching community-based dementia care, including furthering inclusivity and engagement and extending accessible library services. By analyzing library programming for the dementia community and assessing its strengths and challenges, the paper highlights librarians\u2019 awareness of the community\u2019s evolving needs and their collaboration with other professionals. It offers practical insights on useful resources and emerging best practices that will hopefully inspire other initiatives in which information professionals can help improve the well-being of vulnerable populations. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09610006211065170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,30]],"date-time":"2021-12-30T07:15:00Z","timestamp":1640848500000},"page":"123-136","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Library services enriching community engagement for dementia care: The Tales &amp; Travels Program at a Canadian Public Library as a case study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4934-2760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiamin","family":"Dai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McGill University, Canada"}]},{"given":"Joan C.","family":"Bartlett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGill University, Canada"}]},{"given":"Karyn","family":"Moffatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGill University, Canada"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09610006211065170","unstructured":"Alzheimer Society of British Columbia (2016) Dementia-friendly communities local government toolkit.
