AMI-Québec’s Library

The well-stocked AMI library is an invaluable resource for members. Topics include how to cope with and recover from mental illness in yourself or a loved one, and how to manage your mental health. There are personal accounts and information on specific illnesses. We have sections for non-fiction, biographies, fiction, and books for children and teenagers. (Looking for books for kids? Click HERE for some possibilities.)

The library holds over 700 books, from best sellers to self-help volumes and practical information. Many well-known authors writing about mental illness are represented and there is information for all interests. Our books also cover all knowledge levels, from the popular “for Dummies” series to clinical information.

The library also contains DVDs about mental illness and mental health. We have documentaries, personal stories, and instructional DVDs with practical tools and coping skills. Families can view DVDs together, a very effective way of bringing everyone up to date easily and quickly.

The library is user friendly, with a colour-coded system to help you find the subject you are seeking.

Free access to the library is one of the perks of AMI membership ($25 per year; click HERE for details). Members can borrow two items at a time for two weeks, and may renew for a further two weeks. Come visit–our office is at 5800 boul. Decarie in Montreal.
