Little loss library
These community lending libraries were created in partnership with the Women and Children’s Health Network. They are intended to support parents experiencing pregnancy or infant loss in an accessible and discreet way while also encouraging community connection. Resources are provided at no cost to the borrowers and strive to ensure no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone.

How does it work?
Take a book
If you see a book on this shelf you would like to read, feel free to take it with you. Return it to this Little Loss Library when you are finished. It’s that simple. No need to sign it out. No return dates.
Leave a Book
Bring grief or pregnancy and infant loss books from your own collection for others to borrow. Feel free to leave a message for future borrowers in the front cover.
Recycle
If you received a Bridget’s Bunnies comfort kit and have gently used books you wish to pass along, this is where to do it. Simply place them on the shelf to gift to another grieving parent.
Share
Leave a comment or share about your own loss in the back of the book you’ve borrowed. This will help connect you with future borrowers. Also, let others know we’re here by sharing on social media and tagging @bridgetsbunnies
Information Binder
You will also find an information binder with hand outs you can take home regarding early loss and complications or simply scan the QR code for more information. To find these resources online, visit: https://www.pregnancyed.com/
