Bibliotherapy can be helpful in treating people with various disabilities, including the co-addicted. The article shows the bibliotherapist’s role in working with people who are co-addicted in the 'Bibliotherapist' journal in the period 1998–2008, using analysis of the content as a research method. The 'Bibliotherapist' is a periodical which, until 2010, was the only one to shape the contemporary Polish bibliotherapy and disseminate the idea of therapy through reading. In ten-year period 207 articles were published on the journal’s pages, among which only 8 (4% of all articles) dealt with the use of bibliotherapy in treatment of co-addicted people. These texts appeared in the years: 1998 – 1, 1999 – 1, 2000 – 4 and 2002 – 2. The largest number of articles on this topic is associated with the appearance of a series of articles by Bronislawa Wozniczka-Paruzel on the use of bibliotherapy in treating the co-addicted from Al-Anon family groups. The analysis shows that the topic of codependency in conjuction with bibliotherapy aroused weak interest of the journal editors in comparision to other articles.

The article presents the condition of library as an institution in the era of new media domination. On the basis of research at the Toronto School of Communication, we show the profound impact that writing and reading had on human thinking and social institutions. In particular, we focus on the ability to use abstract and universalistic categories and to be critical. These skills are a necessary base for the modern public sphere which is a sphere of freedom of opinion and a place where citizenship is being developed. According to numerous surveys the number of readers as well as the critical reading skills have been decreasing. Taking into account these trends and previous research we can assume that abilities required for full participation in the public sphere and modern society of knowledge will be weakened. There is a question of challenges that the contemporary library will have to deal with. According to a French historian of the book – Roger Chartier – the library can carry out its tasks in several areas such as: archiving all types of text carriers (even in case of complete digitalization of recourses), broadly comprehended social and educational functions which mean assisting in dealing with information overload, and active creation of cultural and community life.
