Library

Our lending library is up and running! We are so pleased to have such willing and capable people as our librarians.

At present, our library has approximately 60 books. There is a wide range of subjects available, all dealing with grief. We have literature and pamphlets available to those that attend our meetings.

The library will be open at each meeting. Members are welcome to check out books each month, and are asked to return them as soon as they have been read. This is YOUR library!
