There will be elderly, professional street performers, disabled and indigenous Australian living libraries attending, as well as piercing vendors and a selection of food trucks for those who are interested in learning a new world. One of our living libraries, the Lizard Man, can be found at http://www.thelizardman.com/ if interested in learning more about him before meeting him.

Fancy taking a stroll through the memories of people that have been around for decades? then this event is for you!

Pearl Cove Library shall be hosting a free living library event aimed at borrowing the elderly. These books will be from various categories, including Indigenous books and books with a disability. This event is largely to remind the community that the elderly population have a lot to offer, especially knowledge-wise.

Borrow a book, grab a name tag, and help yourselves to refreshments. I am sure that you will discover interesting things, such as their life experiences, and how the community has changed over the ages!

Some interesting information about the elderly in Australia can be found here.

Spots are limited! RSVP for the event through Eventbrite to make sure you can attend!
