Michael Doheny’s suggested questions:
- What is your overall reaction to the article and the idea of a “Healthy Reading” section in a medical (or other) library?
- What are your thoughts on the extension of such a section into staff and patient support and collaboration with other mental health support staff?
- Should all medical libraries have a “Self-Help” section for patients and staff? Do you feel it could work for your library?
- What steps would be needed to develop a healthy reading (and /or bibliotherapy club) at your library?
- What resources can librarians employ to develop such a collection, national book lists, local counsellors / doctors / own expertise based on library stats and book reviews?
- Could a Library Bibliotherapy service/ club, compliment a Healthy reading book section?
- Any other thoughts, ideas, discussion…
