Bibliotherapy can be defined as the use of guided reading for therapeutic ends. And though you might not be a licensed mental health professional, you can--and do, even without knowing it--support mental health and personal growth by connecting patrons to books that heal. Regardless of your previous experience or existing skills, this guide will empower you to make "shelf help" a part of your library's relationship with its community. Drawing on Reading for Recovery, the authors' own Carnegie-Whitney grant-funded project, this guide begins with an overview of bibliotherapy, including its concepts and history, and sketches out how its various approaches can be adapted for library settings; explores the potential of bibliotherapy as an add-on to existing skills, services, practices, and collections; demonstrates how bibliotherapy-inspired initiatives can address the needs of diverse communities, thus advancing libraries' commitment to EDISJ; offers techniques for selecting reading material for your audience with bibliotherapy in mind; provides a range of possible programs, from group discussions and public events to book displays and reading lists, along with a step-by-step approach to planning and implementing them; shares outreach tips, tools, and branding ideas to make the most of your resources and effectively reach your audience; demonstrates how to use assessment tools to test and tweak your program at every stage to achieve the results you want; and inspires you to take your offerings into new directions, such as creative writing and visual art programs, that fit your library and community"-- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Part I: Getting Acquainted -- Bibliotherapy: An Overview -- A Brief History of Bibliotherapy -- Part II: Turning Inward -- Bibliotherapy in Your Library -- Passive and Active Programming -- Know Thy Audience -- Part III: Getting to Work -- Selecting Reading Material -- Setting Up Bibliotherapy-Infused Programs -- Hosting a Large Event -- Part IV: Turning Outward -- Traditional Marketing -- Social Media Marketing -- Improving and Sustaining Your Program -- Epilogue: New Horizons: Looking Forward -- Appendixes -- Appendix A: Program Template -- Appendix B: Discussion Guide Template -- Appendix C: Event Planning Template -- Appendix D: Event Playbook Template -- Appendix E: Marketing Templates. 650 0 $a Libraries $x Activity programs. 650 0 $a Bibliotherapy. 650 6 $a BibliotheÌques $x ActiviteÌs. 650 6 $a BibliotheÌrapie. 650 7 $a bibliotherapy. $2 aat 650 7 $a Bibliotherapy $2 fast 650 7 $a Libraries $x Activity programs $2 fast 700 1 $a Allred, Nicholas A., $d 1991- $e author. 710 2 $a ALA Editions (Firm) 941 $a 1 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20231229010147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ED7A84D8A61711EE84974C3456ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
