There are some things people believe shouldn't be talked about - domestic violence is not one of them. As part of Domestic Violence Prevention Month, Pearl Cove Library will be hosting a "Living Library" event allowing this crucial subject to be discussed and talked about.
When: Thursday, 7 May 2020.
Where: The Pearl Room @ Pearl Cove Library.
How much? The event is free but bookings are essential!
Make a booking on our EventBrite page by following this link.
Brave individuals from within our own community will be availble as "books" to be borrowed. You'll be able to borrow a book and they'll sit down and talk with you about their experiences with domestic violence.
We will also be joined by a welcome guest, Tarang Chawla, respected lawer and advocate for the group Our Watch, a group dedicated to preventing domestic violence. Tarang will be one of the "books" availble for borrowing and will be able to answer a lot of important legal questions related to domestic violence.

You're welcome to come join us and have a cup of coffee and a chat. You'll just happen to be joining in on a very important discussion. We hope to see you there.
