Bibliotherapy refers to the use of reading for therapeutic purposes, and as library people, we’ve all seen the way stories can transform, empower, and heal. Learn more about the affective benefits of reading and how libraries can use these ideas to positively impact the well-being of our patrons, communities, and ourselves, even if you’re not a licensed mental health professional.

The virtual Bibliotherapy in Libraries Summit offers day-long programming around the concept of bibliotherapy in collection development, readers advisory, programming, outreach, and more. Come away with the tools and knowledge to help your library community find “shelf help.”

WSL will be providing clock hours to eligible Washington Library employees for all summit sessions, with the exception of Lunch & Book Talk Club.
