Library Events for Adults




Death Cafe [ https://sunnyvale.libcal.com/event/14444388 ]
IN-PERSON: Death Café

*Monday, Dec. 8, 6:30 to 8 p.m.*

At a Death Café, people—often strangers—gather to discuss death. We invite people in all phases of life to come talk about death and dying in a supportive, unstructured way. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.

 

This program is for adults only. Registration is not required.
