LETTERS TO EDITOR: Even more reason to save libraries from closure, they can boost your mental health as well as your reading list

By

Letters-to-the-Editor
Dear Sir,

I thought you might find this article ‘A New Chapter’ by Kate Langrish (https://mobile.twitter.com/k_intheforest), on p.149 of February’s Country Living magazine, of interest.

“A NEW CHAPTER”
There’s now even more reason to save libraries from closure – they can boost your mental health as well as your reading list. The Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme (reading-well.org.uk) – promoting book-based therapy – has seen loans of mental health self-help titles increase by 97 per cent. Running in England for two years, it has a list of expert-approved books on stress, anxiety, depression and dementia for users to find at their library. A recent survey showed that 85 per cent of borrowers said it helped them manage their condition, while half felt it reduced symptoms. Similar schemes are available in Wales and Scotland.”

Yours
Deborah Sadki
