The Fairfield Public Library along with NAMI Fairfield will host a book club meeting on Thursday, May 17 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road. The book selection for May is A Brilliant Madness: Living with Manic-Depressive Illness by actress Patty Duke and Gloria Hochman.
Patty Duke joins with medical reporter Gloria Hochman to shed light on the powerful, paradoxical, and destructive illness called Manic-Depression or Bipolar Disorder. The title is perfect for such a great book, and thoroughly describes that mental disorders truly are a brilliant madness. Not only is this book educational, it lets you know that you are not alone if you have Manic Depression.

Copies of the book are available at the Fairfield Public Library. To obtain a reserved copy from the circulation desk at the Main Library, you must say you are from the NAMI Book Club.
