What is this event about?

In this unique and special event, you will be borrowing a human living book and you will see the difficulties and challenges “books” have experienced and learn more about vision impairment from the dialogues.

Join us at Pearl Cove Library World Sight Day and "borrow" a "human book".

 

What is “human  living book”?

The Human Library is a library of people.   They host events where participants can borrow human being serving as open books and have real conversations they would not normally have access to.  They meet the goals by creating a special dialogue room, where taboo topics can be discussed openly and without condemnation.  A place where people who would otherwise never talk find room for conversation.

Our “books” include an Indigenous partner, socially disadvantaged people with vision impairment and medical professional for blindness and vision impairment.  There will be a lot of new things to learn from them.
