Library Resources and Services

We have a substantial library of resources at our Brisbane Centre, offering excellent books, magazines, cds, etc on grief issues associated with the death of a child/children and siblings. All library resources are available for loan by our members. Access to the library is available at support meetings or by visiting the Centre. We will post library resources to any of our members who are unable to come to the Centre in Brisbane. In return, we need our members to be vigilant and post these items back so other TCFQ members are able to avail themselves of this useful service.

TCFQ have a 6 week limit on the loan of items. If you need them for longer and wish to extend, we are only to happy to do this. Please contact the Centre office, either by post/phone or email, if you would like to make use of the resources available.

We also gratefully accept books to be added our library collection. Please contact the Centre if you would like to donate a book to share with other families…in memory of a loved one…
