Visit a Little Loss Library

We know that coping with pregnancy and infant loss requires space for reflection, so we created Little Loss Libraries in partnership with the Women and Children’s Health Network. They bring comfort and guidance in an accessible and discreet way, as well as promote community and shared experience through words.

At every Little Loss Library, you’ll also find an information binder with brochures and other supportive information to take home.

How to Borrow

Visit one of our Little Loss Libraries, choose a book to read and take it with you. There is no cost, no need to sign it out, and no return date. Just return the book when you’re finished.

If you wish, leave a comment or share your own story, in the back of the book. These heartfelt words become part of the grief and healing process for future borrowers. If you want to more publicly reach others who need support, share your comments or story by tagging @bridgetbunnies on social media.
