Books are offered to boost mind and at the same time develop reading habit in the person. Reading Agency, a national charity is rolling out this scheme of providing ‘Books on Prescription’ that is based on psychotherapy techniques. Books can be selected from a list of forms or relevant titles from Ashbourne Library in Compton free of charge.
