To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, Pearl Cove Library will be inviting four volunteers to recount their stories of their service in the Australian military. Based upon the worldwide initiative of Human Living Libraries, each 'Book' has agreed to converse with groups of 'Readers' for thirty minutes each, answering questions and recounting their lives.

Day: Sunday, 11 November 2018

Time: 12:30pm - 3:30pm

 

Booking Information

For the day, four time slots will be available for different groups to speak to their Book of choice; a total of sixteen sessions will be able to chosen from. Expressions of interests will occur from the 11th September - 25th September; these will be available to be done via the Pearl Cove Library and Council websites, as well as written applications in each branch of our Library Service.

The actual choosing and booking of sessions will be on the 11th October at 11am - please note, this process will be first in, first served.

 

IMPORTANT

Each Book is in charge of how they speak to and how many people they speak to. They will have a set of rules that MUST be adhered to for the duration of the event; some of these will include the ability to not answer whatever questions asked towards them or to end the session when they want. Any disrespectful or unsociable behaviour will result in being asked to leave the event and the Library itself.
