The nice thing about books: you can take one home and it waits patiently for the right time. Open it when you’re ready. Close it when you like. Come back to it when it’s helpful.

Hospice of the Northwest’s lending library is open to the public. We have over 1500 books, CDs and DVDs in a range of styles from very personal to very practical. We can support families experiencing (or anticipating) loss, with information and inspiration on topics including: communicating with children, coping with a long illness, disease specific resources, caregiving tips and managing grief.

Our library is in partnership with the Burlington Public Library and funded entirely by Hospice of the Northwest Foundation. To learn more, visit Hospice of the Northwest Lending Library.

For more information contact Dr. Leslie Estep or Dr. Anita Meyer at Hospice of the Northwest, 360-814-5550, or lestep@hospicenw.org  or  ameyer@hospicenw.org.
