Books are often a much needed resource when children, teens and families are grieving.  Sometimes sharing a book with a friend, babysitter, teacher or relative is a simple way to let people know how we are feeling.  Our wonderful library committee takes great pride in reviewing all the books in our library to identify the best books.  Word of mouth is the best source of recommendations.  Because everyone grieves differently, our library has a wide selection for all ages.

The Children’s Room library committee launched its new program for the year with a kickoff meeting to plan the calendar for the year.  The key projects in the works are:

1. Creating a special reading place for adults and children to read the books;
2. Help families take advantage of the books we have in stock;
3. Produce more lists of recommended readings to share tips and opinions about best books; and
4. Planning special book-centered events which are always a big hit with the kids.

Our lending library was started by and is maintained entirely by volunteers.  Our library holds hundreds of books, all of them donated by our community.  As with all of the work at The Children’s Room, donors and volunteers have come together to make something special for our families.

Volunteers are always needed for this active committee, so if you are interested in sharing your love of books with our community, please contact us at info@childrensroom.org.

We especially need help providing summaries of recommendations of books.
