Child Reading Book

Lydia's Library

Lydia’s Library was created so that no family has to sit in a hospital room or face loss without something to hold onto.

Some books help explain complex conditions.
Some help with grief.
Some simply offer a moment to breathe.

Every book here has been chosen with care, by people who understand.
