Library Gals Go to the Library - Episode 8

May is officially recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. To learn more about this, you can visit Mental Health America, NAMI, or our local NAMI organization, NAMI of Delaware & Morrow Counties.

We have a selection of titles for all ages across the spectrum of mental health disorders this week - It's Kind of a Funny Story based on the book by Ned Vizzini, Infinitely Polar Bear, The Color of Hope, We're Not Broken by Eric Garcia, Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram and Stuntboy, In the Meantime by Jason Reynolds. 

This week's recommendations come to us from Rachel, teen librarian at the Orange Branch, and Bridget, children's specialist at the Delaware Branch.  Rachel recommends Challenger Deep by Neal Schusterman. Bridget recommends You Have Feelings All the Time by Deborah Farmer Kris, Ruby Finds a Worry by Tom Percival, When Sadness is at Your Door by Eva Eland and Catching Thoughts by Bonnie Clark to explore different topics surrounding mental health in youngsters. These titles are all picture books for caregivers and children to enjoy together.
