Abstract-Stress is a major public health concern that has a physical and psychological impact on numerous people. Many people can cope with minor levels of stress, and some even become more productive when under distress. Stress, on the other hand, becomes problematic when it becomes overwhelming and a person begins to experience negative consequences such as increased anxiety and depression, multiple somatic complaints with no organic cause, or engaging in unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, poor dietary habits, and poor sleep habits. The failure of an individual to adequately manage stress can have a cascade of negative consequences on both a personal and professional level. Stress is supposed to begin in the school and last throughout one’s professional career. It would be beneficial to encourage the use of stress management techniques from the start of a student’s education, thereby assisting them in laying a foundation on which healthful behaviors can be built. While various methods have been investigated to help relieve stress, reading is one of the most effective stress management practices. If provided a suitable setting to concentrate peacefully, such as found in libraries, reading can become even more enjoyable and sanative.
