Tameside Libraries has a collection of very special books especially created for people with dementia. The books from the Pictures to Share  series are large format and contain high quality images accompanied by a few lines of text.  Each picture in the books has been chosen to help jog memories, spark comments and bring pleasure to the reader.

 

We have 10 titles in the Pictures to Share range, all written by Helen Bate.
