Diets, Diabetes & Detectives - Borrow a Human Living Book - Free Event

We are holding a special event on World Diabetes Day

When:  14 November 2017

Time:  10.15 am ~ 12.45 pm

Where:  Pearl Cove Library, Main Library & in the Pearl Room

How it Works:  Readers will 'borrow' a Human Living Book in the library, for a 15 minute one-to-one conversation.

Diets, Diabetes & Detectives draws attention to our  Human Living Book event.  Our Living Books are women from our community with experience and stories to share, stories of living with diabetes.

There will be two types of books to read - one focused on detecting diabetes in unsuspecting people and the other is on developing healthy lifestyles as a preventative measure. Titles include 'How An Olympian Became A Diabetic', Early Detection Saved My Life', and 'Born Diabetic: A Gym Guide'.

Health professionals from the Diabetes Clinic will be here too, with information and resources for you to to investigate here in the library or take home.

This event is proudly sponsored by OUR LOCAL GYM.

* Refreshments will be available for our books, readers and volunteers.

* This is a FREE event.
