Memory Lane will be held July 27 at 10 a.m. at Bordeaux Community Library, located at 3711 Village Dr., Fayetteville.

These kits, available for checkout, include various activities aimed at stimulating memory and cognitive functions. These 15 unique kits feature different themes to spark conversations and reminiscing and are part of library’s commitment to supporting the community and provide resources.
