They can be borrowed free of charge for six weeks at a time to adults with an Inspire library card. There are 12 different bags most of them containing a book, some mindfulness cards, a CD, an activity, a stress ball and a collection of leaflets providing health information and advice. Each one has a different name so you can remember which ones you’ve already borrowed.
