Here to Help – Menopause
For life’s big and small moments Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh staff have created Here to Help booklists. Here to Help booklists provide information and support in navigating life experiences. Librarians at your neighborhood library are here to help too and can offer suggestions for these or other topics of interest, as well as community information and resources. Through these booklists you can create opportunities to find connection, solace, comfort, or information for action.
The books in this list provide information and resources for adults about menopause.
Not every book is available at all locations, but any title can be requested. Feel free to suggest some titles to us. New books are always being added to the collection.
For more resources see the CLP Social Services Guide.
You can sign up for a free library card here.
