We offer many cancer resource books for your use in our Cancer Resources Library in The Wellness Community's Living Room.
Please be sure to check your book collection at home to be sure you don't have any books that need to be returned to TWC as we have quite a few out right now. Books from our library will have a Wellness Community sticker in them and a place for the check out card. Please return them to the basket in our Living Room or the Front Desk.
Thank you, we really appreciate it and returning books allows us to offer them to others who may need them.
