Multimedia Library

The Alzheimer's Association maintains a multimedia library of books, articles, videos- and audiotapes pertinent to memory, Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, and caregiving issues. They are available to family members, caregivers, professionals and students. The Alzheimer's Association also maintains files of newspaper articles, professional journals, and magazine articles about Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, in addition to Alzheimer's Association newsletters from across the country. There is also a selection of pamphlets and brochures of medical supply houses and of other services to the elderly. A section of the library contains specialized materials on adult day services. Some materials are available in a variety of languages. Some resources are also available through our regional office: Alzheimer's Association Center at California State University, Northridge.
