25/11/2019

Does your library want to set up a dementia friendly bookclub or book group for your community?
Picture
LIANZA and Dovetale Press are very excited to announce that the Dementia Friendly Libraries Kickstarter has raised over $5000.  We are very grateful to all the organsiations and individuals that supported this fundraising campaign. The kickstarter campaign will allow 20 public libraries to receive six sets of five Dovetale Press dementia-friendly books.That's 600 books in all, or a set of books for shared reading in a group of six people at 20 public libraries across New Zealand.  The Dovetale Press series has been produced after years of research into reading and dementia, through the University of Otago and with support from Bupa NZ. 
Participating libraries will also receive a digital resource with suggestions on how to run a dementia-friendly book group or book club, and become part of a community of practice, as the book groups are established. The libraries will also be part of a small research project led by Victoria University of Wellington, who have received funding from the LIANZA Community Contestable Fund to assess the readiness of facilitators to lead dementia friendly book clubs in libraries.
​

Selection
LIANZA want to ensure that the funded book sets are sent to libraries that can make the best use of these resources to assist their library to become more dementia-friendly.

Preference will be given to libraries that are LIANZA institutional members.

A selection panel from LIANZA Council, Victoria University and Dovetale Press will review applications and select 20 libraries to be part of this initiative. The panel will submit a report with their recommendations, which will be approved by LIANZA Council.
 
The successful recipients will be expected to participate in any LIANZA publicity about the initiative and in the Victoria University of Wellington research project.

Applications
Download and use the fillable application form here and send to office@lianza.org.nz by Monday February 24, 5pm.
