Firstly, we would like to offer our condolences to those affected by the recent loss in our community. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. We have compiled a list of resources to help with processing grief, both for the individual and for parents seeking to help their children. The library is, and always will be, here to serve the members of our community. Please feel empowered to speak to our staff members about helping with resources and materials that you will need regarding this or any other topic.
