Libraries give patrons a sense of safety, refuge, and peace that is difficult to find in many communities. Nowhere is this more true than in psychiatric hospitals, where libraries can be a beacon of stability in the mental turmoil that comes with psychiatric hospitalization.

The result is a more inclusive community for all patrons regardless of neurotype or mental health status.
