I am enquiring as whether anyone has experience of being involved in bibliotherapy. There are many definitions as regards what this could mean but I am looking at it from the perspective of prescribing books to individuals who could be for example attending bereavement counseling. I was wondering how this could be administered from the Library perspective in terms i.e. loan period, number of books on loan and what other involvement the Librarian would have in this process such as book selection and prescription. Also, I was wondering if anyone has been involved in evaluating bibliotherapy and how it might be done? I'd appreciate any ideas, thoughts, feedback on this topic. Kind Regards, Joanne Joanne Callinan. Librarian, Library & Information Service, Milford Care Centre, Castletroy, Limerick.
