It's February and I haven't posted a thing all year. Not a jot, a word or a doodle. I know you're all clambering to hear my latest thoughts on librarian life, and it's not like I haven't been thinking (well, most of the time). Things have been happening. Big ideas are afoot. So where do I begin? I have become interested in the study of Bibliotherapy. Biblio means books. Therapy means therapy. Book. Therapy. There was a man, an essayist and minister actually, who first came up with the term Bibliotherapy just over 100 years ago (he coined the term as a bit of a piss-take, but eh, we shall run with it). Bibliotherapy has endured, if not a tad under the radar, since this time. Recently though it has begun peeking out from behind the book shelves and tentatively interacting with the modern world. There are articles, websites, blogs - even the odd radio program - talking about the concept with joy and wonder. But is it just a nice idea without any substance
