Objectives
The original purpose of this study was to answer the main research question:
How can a bibliotherapy programme be developed and effectively implemented in a Dublin public library environment?
This main question fed into a number of areas including:
How are bibliotherapy programmes currently being conducted in
Dublin’s public library services?
What role do partnerships with health professionals play in bibliotherapy programmes in public libraries?
How do these programmes impact upon the role of staff in the libraries?
What, if any, are the barriers to bibliotherapy programmes currently in
existence in Dublin’s public libraries?
What are the differences between a bibliotherapy programme in a
public library and a similar programme in a health
library?
