Common Library is a shared space for reading enthusiasts, both beginners and seasoned, celebrating the art of reading, reflection, and meaningful dialogue, cultivating a community of literary souls—the dreamers and the critical thinkers.

ESCAPISM THROUGH READING AS A FORM OF SELF-CARE

Rather than just escaping life’s challenges, reading can be seen as a positive way to recharge and support mental well-being. Incorporating reading into a self-care routine allows for a necessary break, offering stress relief, opportunities for personal growth and a moment to unwind and reconnect with oneself through the pages of a book.

We’re here to help by offering guidance on building a self-care routine that incorporates reading as a powerful tool for mental well-being. Whether you’re looking for book recommendations, tips on creating a relaxing reading space, or strategies to make time for self-care, we’re here to support you in making reading a meaningful and enjoyable part of your routine.
