Death Positive Libraries Clare launches on Thursday 29 October at Ennis Library.

At Death Positive Libraries Clare, we believe that open and honest conversations about death, dying, grief and bereavement can help create stronger, more compassionate communities.

Our specially curated collection of books provides a welcoming space for people to explore these important life experiences, whether they are seeking information, support, reflection or understanding. The collection will be available at Ennis, Ennistymon, Kilrush, Scariff and Shannon Libraries.

To mark the launch, we are hosting a series of creative workshops across County Clare, offering opportunities to explore, create, reflect and connect through art, storytelling and shared experiences.
