Adults | Community Room | August 5 at 3:30 pm

Marty Schreiber is visiting the Carter Memorial Library on Tuesday, August 5 at 3:30 pm to speak about his book. In My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver, Marty candidly counsels those taking on this caregiving role. As an award-winning crusader for Alzheimer’s caregivers and persons with dementia, Marty uses humor and compassion as he shares his lessons from this nearly twenty-year journey as a caregiver.
