The Death Positive Library

Using libraries as safe and trusted spaces to start supportive conversations about death, dying and grief. We host regular book and film events, death and bereavement cafe's as well as creatives projects to start these important conversations.

The project started in 2017, led by Redbridge libraries in East London who were joined by Kirklees and Newcastle Libraries in 2020. Working in partnership with Dr Stacey Pitsillides and Dr Claire Nally from Northumbria University.
