Books on Prescription in Warwickshire


How the Scheme Works

 

  • You are given a book prescription by your GP or mental health professional.
  • Take this to your local library, where staff will help find the book.
  • BOP collections are located in 13 libraries, and they can be obtained at any library in the county.
  • If you are not already a member of the library you can join immediately using the book prescription as identification and take the book/s home.
  • Books are issued for 3 weeks and can be renewed if no-one is waiting for them.
  • The recommended books are also available for anyone to read.

 

The Books


  • The BOP titles are recommended by health professionals.
  • Most of the books are written by leading psychologists and many present self-help versions of established treatment programmes.
  • They can help you learn about and manage a range of common mental health problems.
