Bexley Library AuditoriumJoin the Bexley Public Library for Death Cafe, an open discussion group that centers on topics of death and dying. Warm beverages and light refreshments provided.
From seeing bare trees and dormant gardens to grieving lost loved ones at family gatherings, there are frequent reminders of death during the winter months.
Join this Death Cafe for an open, supportive, and honest discussion of death and dying. At Death Cafe, participants will share perspectives, ask questions, and reflect on the meaning and reality of death. With light refreshments and a comfortable setting, Death Cafe is designed to put participants at ease and make difficult topics more approachable. Please note this is not a grief support group or counseling session but rather an opportunity to explore a topic that touches all lives.
This Death Cafe is facilitated by Diane Callahan, a local author and co-curator of Spirit and Dust, a Columbus-based exhibition about death and dying; learn more at uas.osu.edu/spirit-and-dust.
Death Cafes are group-directed discussions of death and dying with no agenda, objectives, or themes. Death Cafe is an international nonprofit movement that strives “to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives” and remove the stigma surrounding the topic of death and dying. Learn more about the Death Cafe nonprofit at deathcafe.com.
Registration is encouraged but walk-ins are welcome as space allows.
Bexley Public Library
Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
