Last session school librarians in Aberdeen were awarded a Scottish Government grant to run a project entitled “Healthy Libraries: Shelf Help and the School Library”. The project looked at the best way to promote and develop a Shelf Help area in the library to support the mental health and wellbeing needs of young people. As a result of the project, the Library at BODA now has a new and expanded Shelf Help section where pupils will find books, leaflets and sources of information that offer help and advice on all sorts of stresses and problems. Pupils can browse at their leisure and borrow any book they think will be useful.
