Grievers Library is a non-profit working to provide free bereavement literature to those who need it most, through free book boxes dispersed throughout Seattle. In developing this library further, I have expanded the physical collection, created a highly accessible tagging system with grieving users in mind, and curated online booklists that allow users to borrow recommended titles from their own public library. Living with a loss is overwhelming, but the search for support and comfort does not need to be.
