The books are all chosen and recommended by health experts, as well as people living with the conditions covered and their relatives and carers. You can be recommended a title by a health professional, or you can visit your local library and take a book out yourself.
There are five book lists available:
- Reading Well for children
- Reading Well for mental health
- Reading Well for young people
- Reading Well for long term conditions
- Reading Well for dementia
Titles can be reserved online via our catalogue at www.sandwell.gov.uk/librariesonline and an appointment then made to collect books from the one of the libraries listed on this page. Where copies of the titles are available electronically (in eBook or eAudio format) then these can be borrowed from our BorrowBox app. Just to note – not all titles are available in this form.
We also have a Magazine Service which has a good selection of free magazines! To access this, please click here!
