Emotional instability and a crisis of meaning are ubiquitous occurrences among people today, leading to states of depression. While seeking psychotherapy is a routine part of daily life in the Western world, there still exists a stigma towards emotional crises and mental disorders in our region. Without the support of family and community, finding a solid foundation after life upheavals, and the problems, sorrow, and suffering caused by such loss, becomes challenging. Until we, as a society, reestablish our moral compass and strengthen the shaken foundations of our value system, the consequences of such widespread upheaval will resonate for generations to come. Bibliotherapy and logotherapy are therapeutic disciplines that aid individuals in recognizing signposts in the search for the meaning of life. A book, with its healing power through metaphor and the hero's journey, serves as a communication bridge between the reader and the depths of their emotional world. Bibliotherapy and logotherapy can successfully collaborate to enrich work with children and youth, and libraries provide suitable spaces for organizing joint bibliotherapeutic-logotherapeutic workshops. Librarians, as information professionals, possess pedagogical skills, empathy, and sensitivity in working with children and youth. With additional education, collaboration with local experts, and an interdisciplinary approach to literature, the school librarian plays a crucial role in preventing emotional crisis, anxiety, and depression in children and youth. A society making significant efforts to alleviate suffering is a place where absurdity takes a leading role. The life and work of Viktor Frankl through logotherapy teach us that everything in life has a meaning that we need to recognize to fulfill ourselves and attain genuine, unadulterated happiness and the will to live.
