#ChathamStrong

Our hearts continue to be with everyone in our community who is grieving and healing. In times of sorrow, stories can offer comfort, understanding, and a sense of not being alone.

We’ve recently updated our list of grief and healing books to better support children, families, and anyone navigating loss.

You can view the updated collection here:

Teen and Adult - https://chap.share.aspendiscovery.org/MyAccount/MyList/10163

Children's - https://chap.share.aspendiscovery.org/MyAccount/MyList/10161

Whether you’re looking for quiet reflection, books to share with a child, or a gentle reminder of hope, we hope these titles can provide some light.

As always, the library is here for you — not just with books, but as a place of comfort and community. All are welcome.

The Backyard at the Library is becoming a reality, thanks to so many generous and kindhearted people in our community. Every gift has moved us one step closer to creating a space where families can connect, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors together.

Lately, some of these donations have carried a deep and powerful meaning.

We’ve been honored to receive memorial gifts in memory of five young people who tragically lost their lives in a recent accident in Chatham.
