This program teaches caregivers how to navigate the responsibilities of caring for someone living with dementia.
Join us for Supporting Independence, an education program by the Alzheimer’s Association® covering topics like dementia’s effect on independence, steps to help with daily activities and providing the right amount of support. This program provides information and tips for supporting independence while teaching caregivers how to navigate the responsibilities of caring for someone living with dementia.
As part of the program, you will receive activities to apply person-centered care approaches to your own caregiving situation. Library staff will also briefly highlight our resources for those with dementia and their caregivers, including our memory care kits.

NOTE: The Main Library's Rooftop Terrace is closed for renovations.
Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.
A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
