Books on Prescription Update
After more than 10 years WellSouth is ending the Books on Prescription programme in the South, and will no longer manage, update, or purchase books.
We recognise the value the programme has provided to libraries, prisons, and patients over many years, and thank you for your involvement bringing helpful resources to your community.
Here are the details and how this affects your service and your existing collection.
-
WellSouth will no longer purchase new titles or provide resources
-
The service is not being taken over by another organisation.
-
You don’t need to return the books. In fact, we encourage you to keep titles as a part of your wellbeing collections. This is a valuable resource that is relevant and useful for communities.
We thank you for your dedicated support of this programme and your commitment to promoting mental wellbeing through libraries and custodial services, and for the support you have shown for the Books on Prescription programme over the years.
