Understanding Call Numbers: The Dewey Decimal System

Personal Issues & Mental Health

Some topics can be tough to talk about and have a big impact on how we think and live our lives. Here we have included topics that can be very personal, as well as more broad topics that focus on the mind and mental well-being. Remember, your privacy is very important to libraries. We do not keep records of any past materials that you have checked out. Once you return an item, all records connecting you to that item are automatically deleted. We do not give out any information regarding library patrons (think HIPAA but for libraries).
