Learning Center

The Learning Center is a special collection of books that focuses on learning, obstacles to learning and living, mental illnesses, and practices and therapies. There is information about all age groups - babies, children, teens, and adults.

Featured topics include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Autism, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Parenting.

In the collection are books that explain Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Depression, Borderline Personality, and more.

Sprinkled in are some picture books and middle school fiction to help children understand and cope with challenges they may be facing or that loved ones or friends may be experiencing.

The books in the Learning Center are freely available for in-library use to all. Westchester County residents with library cards can borrow books by visiting the Chappaqua Library, or by putting books on hold and having them sent to their local library. Follow us on social media for new releases. (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
