Reading is an excellent way to escape the stresses of everyday life, and to relax into a different world for a while.  It is also a great way to access information to help make informed decisions and obtain knowledge for yourself or others.

Statistics show that 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental health or addiction problem during their lifetime.  Mental Health Awareness Week is May 7-13, 2018. The focus is on promoting mental well-being and encouraging help-seeking behaviours through awareness and educational resources.  Libraries are an excellent resource and we have many books on a selection of related topics including stress, depression, anxiety, suicide, addiction, mood and eating disorders, life after trauma, and recovery.
