For Tysha Shay, serving patrons who are traditionally overlooked and underserved is a mission. Inspired by her time as a caregiver for her grandmother, who developed dementia and later Alzheimer’s, Shay became sensitized to the struggles of older adults and wondered how she could better serve them. In 2012, she developed Stories for Life, an outreach program in which she visits facilities throughout Springfield, MO, each month to share stories with residents as well as read poetry, play interactive memory games, and highlight historical or local information. Shay is dedicated to providing services to community members who, for various reasons, can no longer visit the library in person.
