Chatham Community Library will host a series of three (3) presentations by the Eastern North Carolina Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association beginning on Tuesday, June 4, and continuing on June 11 and June 18. These programs are free and open to the public.

First in the series is the Association's  "Awareness" presentation on Tuesday, June 4, at 10:00 am in the Holmes Family Meeting Room.  Did you know that today, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and over 11 million are using their unpaid caregivers - an escalating health crisis that affects many in our community. Join us for a brief, informative program to learn about the impact of the disease, local resources and ways you can join the fight against Alzheimer’s and all other dementias.
