塞夫顿图书馆服务走进家庭和养老院，记录当地人们在记忆丧失的第一阶段的生活故事，为病人的护理提供回忆工具和宝贵的原生史。这项工作是与阿尔茨海默氏症协会、老年关怀协会、英国老年协会和塞夫顿地区的养老院合作完成的，这些养老院介绍了最近被诊断患有失忆症的人。住宿护理人员正在使用这些材料与他们的居民建立融洽的关系，并找到谈话的话题。通过回忆来重新点燃被遗忘的记忆（认知刺激疗法）已被证明可以减缓病情的发展。记录的记忆包括战时经历、童年时光、在默西塞德郡塞夫顿区度过的家庭和工作生活。公众可以通过克罗斯比图书馆的当地历史档案访问这些录音。这个低成本的项目提高了图书馆服务在社区团体和决策者中的形象。它证明了图书馆在改善社区健康和福祉方面的价值，以及图书馆为满足社区需求而不断发展的能力。
Sefton Library Service goes out into homes and care homes to record the life stories of local people in the first stages of memory loss, to provide a reminiscence tool for the patient's care and a valuable primary history. The work is delivered in partnership with the Alzheimer's Society, Age Concern, Age UK and care homes in the Sefton Area, who refer people recently diagnosed with memory loss. Residential care workers are using the material to establish a rapport with their residents and find topics of conversation. Reminiscing to rekindle forgotten memories (cognitive stimulation therapy) has been shown to slow the progression of the condition. Memories recorded include wartime experiences, accounts of childhood times, and family and working lives spent in what is now the Sefton district of Merseyside. The recordings are accessible to the public via the local history archive at Crosby Library. The low cost project has raised the profile of the library service to community groups and decision makers. It has demonstrated the value of libraries in improving the health and wellbeing of the community and their ability to evolve to meet community need.
