The NNLM Reading Club brings awareness to Addiction and Recovery adding three new books this month.

• Scenes from My Life: A Memoir by Michael K. WIlliams and Jon Sternfeld

This information is available on our Reading Club website: Reading Club | NNLM

We’re also excited to highlight collaboration with another NNLM Program! The NNLM Substance Use Disorder Interest Group has sponsored a series of programming and resources in observance of National Recovery Month. There is one webinar left in the series:

October 31, Harm Reduction in Action: Language as Harm Reduction: Webinar focuses on language as the first step to a positive interaction and the importance of person-centered language as a gateway into harm reduction practices and techniques and a way to build trust with people who use drugs.

NNLM’s Substance Use Disorder Guide is a collection of trusted, high quality resources on substance abuse from the National Library of Medicine, other government agencies and non-profit groups. The guide is broken down by audience and includes specific resources for a general audience, libraries, educators, community-based organizations, public health, resources by age and population. The guide also includes recordings of SUD focused webinars that were sponsored by the NNLM.
