LEGER ME GROUP LIBRARY BOOK LIST
We currently have a total of 28
books and pamphlets to lend out to members and I’ve set out a brief description
of each of them. The library also
holds newsletters from a couple of other ME groups along with several editions
of the
InterAction
magazine by Action For ME and the
ME Research UK magazine,
Breakthrough.
If you can find the energy to read, you never know what hints, tips and
insights you may come across. Please
let us know if you come across a good book or pamphlet and we will see if we can
source a copy. As well as the books
being available through the post, they will be at each of the meetings at The
Redmond Centre. Happy Christmas & Best Wishes for the New Year.
