# Store and retrieve conversation history and context with the BedrockSessionSaver LangGraph library
<a name="sessions-opensource-library"></a>

Instead of directly using the Amazon Bedrock session management APIs, you can store and retrieve conversation history and context in LangGraph with the `BedrockSessionSaver` library. This is a custom implementation of the LangGraph CheckpointSaver. It uses the Amazon Bedrock APIs with a LangGraph-based interface. For more information, see [langgraph-checkpoint-aws](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain-aws/tree/main/libs/langgraph-checkpoint-aws) in the [LangChain](https://github.com/langchain-ai) GitHub repository.

The following code sample shows how to use the BedrockSessionSaver LangGraph library to track state as a user interacts with Claude. To use this code sample:
+ Install the required dependencies:
  + boto3
  + langgraph
  + langgraph-checkpoint-aws
  + langchain-core
+ Make sure you have access to the Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 model in your account. Or you can modify the code to use a different model.
+ Replace `REGION` with your region:
  + This Region for your runtime client and the BedrockSessionSaver must match. 
  + It must support Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 (or the model you are using).
