Hi Julie, I now work at a university clinic, and most of the parents are very motivated to assist in any way they can. Our county library is now beginning to get some of these books in "e-book" form, so it really is quite simple for them, logistically, to access those books. The library also has "e-reserve", so books that are housed elsewhere in the county can be transported to one's local library for pickup. Not all the books are in our county library, but many are. I think all can be purchased on-line through booksellers or self-help venues. I used to work in a public school setting, and used this approach there as well. In that setting, I would obtain the books from out school library and for some of the shorter books, the activities could be done entirely within the therapy setting. As for favorites, the ones on the list are good - you do want to read them beforehand though as stuttering is a sort of a "background issue" in some books, and more prominent in others. If you read the journal article that Kelly and I (and Melody Mullins) wrote a year or two ago, we mention a few other other books as well, with some analysis of the accuracy with which stuttering is portrayed, and so forth. Happy reading!
