Now in stock! The bibliotherapy-informed practices, programs, and events outlined in this guide will help librarians support the mental health and personal growth of their patrons. It draws on Reading for Recovery, the authors' own Carnegie-Whitney grant-funded project at the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies. https://www.alastore.ala.org/bibliotherapy

"Why reading books is good for society, wellbeing and your career

(...) For better mental health, read a book.

Studies show a range of psychological benefits from book-reading. Reading fiction can increase your capacity for empathy, through the process of seeing the world through a relatable character. Reading has been found to reduce stress as effectively as yoga. It is being prescribed for depression – a treatment known as bibliotherapy.

Book-reading is also a strong marker of curiosity – a quality prized by employers such as Google. Our research shows reading is as strongly associated with curiosity as interest in science, and more strongly than mathematical ability."

Here's an interesting reddit thread I ran across.

Sidenote: I didn't know that #bibliotherapy is a thing before.

Was honored to be asked to answer these questions from a #bibliotherapy site curated by Bijal Shah, placing my hybrid collection The Mortality Shot in context of its potential healing value to folks who have also faced others' #mortality and their own, and in my case recently in context of #longhaul COVID and being diagnosed last year at age 57 on #autism spectrum. And how that has contributed to my #healing. I thought this might be the best way to intro what I do.
