Good Books for Good Mental Health


Logan Hubberd from the UAMS Psychiatric Research Institute in Fayetteville, has been developing programs to help foster community within their clinic. It’s to provide more resources to the patients and aid in their treatment.

A program he’s working on is adding a community library to the clinic so the patients can have access to literature, and provide some group activities, like book discussions.

Logan plans to add bookshelves – or “Little Libraries” around the clinic. But his primary focus right now is to add a bookshelf to the waiting area that gets most traffic.

He reached out to Omni asking if our people might help it begin by donating books? A variety of literature, topics, genre’s, and formats (maybe graphic novels or something) would be welcome.

Contact Gladys at omni@omnicenter.org for next steps if you’d like to donate. I believe we are book people, so this is something we can really do!
