Bibliotherapy
What is bibliotherapy?
Bibliotherapy is healing through reading and discussing books. Bibliotherapy enables children to read about other children who are facing the same serious problems.
This booklist addresses difficult situations, such as death, terminal illnesses, being bullied, chronic illnesses, divorce and abuse.
All of the books in this bibliotherapy list are available at the Madison-Jefferson County Public Library. Most of the books are in the children’s room. However there are some in adult nonfiction that help adults to work with the children.
We have the entire set lists available in the children’s room. We are working to bring the entire set online. Below are the lists currently available online.
