Book encourages people to donate organs and tissues
The Book of Life, which was launched at the Library last week, has been put started by organ donation organization DonateLife and is designed to receive stories as much as it is to tell them.
The book aims to encourage people to choose, when they die, to "donate" their life to someone else and also to explain the impact those who donate organs have had.
"Having the Book of Life displayed in the Lismore Library will help raise community awareness for people to discuss their donation wishes with family and friends close to them," DonateLife said in a statement.
"The personal stories included in the book have paid tribute to the generosity of organ and tissue donors and their families and have helped acknowledge the second chance of life by recipients living in our region."
