Health books
All the books in the Health info collections have a 'smiley' on the spine and an identifying corner flash. This means they are recommended by health professionals and self-help groups.
All libraries in the City have a selection of health books, and of related subjects such as sport and exercise, self-esteem and cookery. Have a look at the A-Z list of subjects below for the class number locations in the library.
You can also find out about them by using the library catalogue, Nelib, or by asking a member of the library staff.
The categorised lists below may help you to choose the book you need from the collection. If you need any help, please ask a member of staff.
