Stockton Libraries Reminiscence Catalogue: Reminiscence involves the discussion of past activities, events and experiences. It can be delivered on an intimate one to one basis or in a group setting. Using the aid of prompts such as photographs, familiar items from the past and music reminiscence is an informal, light hearted and fun way of unlocking memories and encouraging people to talk. Stockton Library Service has a wonderful collection of objects and games which can be used for reminiscence sessions. To help those who need a little support or inspiration to deliver the sessions, there are themed packs. Each pack contains a list of suggested books related to the theme, a list of appropriate objects, background information, points of interest and photos. All the work is done, using the pack, you simply decide what you are going to focus on and collect the books and objects you would like to use. Up to ten objects can be borrowed at any one time and service is completely free of charge.
