Our Library Services

We have a substantial library offering excellent books/magazines or tapes on the grief issues associated with the death of a child/ren and siblings. We will post library books/magazines, etc to any of our members who are unable to come to the Drop in Centre in Brisbane.

In return, we need our members to be vigilant and post these items back to the Drop in Centre so other TCF members are able to avail themselves of this wonderful service. TCF have a 6 week limit on the loan of books. If you need them for longer and wish to extend, we are only to happy to do this. Please contact the Drop in Centre office, either by post/phone or email if you would like to make use of the resources available.

We gratefully accept books to be added our library collection. Please contact the Drop in Centre if you would like to donate a book to share with other families.
