Reading Well Books help people to understand and manage their health and wellbeing using helpful reading available from public libraries. It is a scheme led by The Reading Agency. Books are selected by panels of health professionals and people living with the conditions, for different age groups. 


People may be recommended books by their doctor, or choose a title for themselves. For more information visit the Reading Well website.
