Last month the U.S. celebrated St. Patrick's Day as your host, Nat, sits down with local Librarian, Tara, to dive into some of their experiences in Ireland. The two reflect on their community of death-related events and love of the library.

In this episode you'll hear our conversations about:

• The magic, traditions, history, and nature of Ireland
• Frameworks we have learned about grieving
• What public libraries values really mean (aka the place to go for safety and to ask your questions)
• How death care and death/grief events relate to libraries because they are both places to empower others to gain information and choose what they want
• Storytelling related to grief and loss

See you next time!
