Libraries and Mental Health Initiatives: A literature review

Abstract

The coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic has increased the mental health needs of communities across
America. Public libraries have responded by utilizing the existing resources they developed such as
training staff in Mental Health First Aid and employing social workers and nurses. In addition, libraries
have created new targeted programs to address mental health during the covid-19 pandemic. This
literature review discusses how these various factors relate and further directions for research.
