About the Library

Grief has been called an endless journey. 

Sometimes the path is straight and easy; sometimes it's steep and rocky.  Sometimes the way is through dark woods that seem to have no end; sometimes there is sunshine to warm and comfort.  Sometimes the traveler walks alone, sometimes with companions who share that grief.  No matter what your path is like, you are not alone. 

It's not an easy topic to think about, let alone talk about, but children are especially vulnerable. These resources are here to help, to comfort, to challenge.  If you have any suggestions, please use the contact at the bottom of this page.

PBL Junior High has a collection of materials that be loaned out to the residents in the PBL District.
