NAMI Fairbanks Lending Library

Sometimes the right book or resource can help you better understand a mental health condition, prepare for a difficult conversation, learn new coping strategies, or simply feel less alone in what you are experiencing.

The NAMI Fairbanks Lending Library offers books and educational resources related to mental health, recovery, caregiving, relationships, and supporting someone you care about.

The library is available as a free resource for members of our community.

Learn at Your Own Pace

Not everyone is ready for a class, support group, or conversation right away. Sometimes learning privately and at your own pace is a good place to begin.

The NAMI Fairbanks Lending Library gives community members another way to find information, explore questions, and build a better understanding of mental health.
