What we do

Reading Well are self-help books for individuals experiencing mild to moderate mental ill-health or emotional issues. These books have been carefully selected by health professionals and are available at every library across Wales. They offer information, guidance and advice on ways to self-manage many mental health problems. The books can be borrowed free of charge and cover topics such as anxiety, depression and bereavement. They can also be borrowed by library users, subject to the library’s normal borrowing terms.
