Resource Library
The WAR Resource Library is the core of our Support Services. Staffed by breast cancer survivors, the Library provides information and support, in English and Spanish, to women and their families undergoing breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment. In addition, we assist patients visiting oncologists regarding other cancers.
Located in the Avon Products Foundation Breast Center of the Herbert Irving Cancer Center, the library offers resources and publications on breast cancer, early detection, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, clinical trials, reconstruction, nutrition, sexuality, and regional support groups and services, among other topics.
Through the generosity of the Libby Ross Foundation, newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who visit the Resource Library receive a special Pink Ribbon Bag, an attractive canvas bag filled with comfort items.
The volunteers welcome visitors and invite people into the Resource Library for coffee, tea, conversation and information. Please join us on your next visit to Cancer Center.
The Resource Library is located in the Herbert Irving Pavilion, Tenth Floor, Room 1035, 161 Fort Washington Ave.
