Families and loved ones of those suffering from mental illness can tap into a bonanza of information in The Patient @ Family Library and Learning Center. In all my years of doing research on psychiatric subjects I never knew about this special library until noting it on a Columbia University website (http://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/libraries.html). Open to the public, this library, located at the New York Psychiatric Institute, 1051 Riverside Drive, has breathtaking views of the Hudson River. Visitors are welcome to browse the collection of books, videos and pamphlets, and will also find information on community resources and coping with mental illness. Telephone number 212-543-6713.
