A new service is currently being developed by HIRS and the Stornoway Public Library, which will see a dedicated health information section available from Public Libraries and Mobile Library Units in the Western Isles.

The section will consist of a wide range of awareness/self-help books and health literature available for loan – and our first topic will concentrate on mental health  To view the wide range of titles which already have been shortlisted, please click here.

We would be grateful to anyone who has read any of these titles to let us know whether they found the title(s) of relevance to them, and if they would recommend them.

If you do not wish to post your response here – please email your response to Marissa MacLennan, Health Information & Resources Officer, email: marissa.maclennan@nhs.net   PLEASE NOTE: All responses will be kept private and confidential, and information will only be used to determine which books will be purchased.
