'BOOKS ON PRESCRIPTION'
The Library Services are working with local doctors and mental
health professionals to offer a “Book Prescription Scheme” to
people who want to use self-help. These professionals have
compiled a list of recommended self-help books which have been
bought by the libraries.
A prescription for a book will be issued to you by your health
professional and can be exchanged at the library. The scheme
currently operates in Bath Central Library, and from 5th June 2007
in Midsomer Norton and Keynsham libraries.
For more information contact the local NHS Psychological
Therapies Service on 01225 831496. The team are based at Bath &
