Human Living Library…..What is it? Well, in a nutshell it is a library lending tool that loans people instead of books. An opportunity to hear a story right from the source. Check out more about this initiative: https://www.humanlibraryaus.org/
At Pearl Cove Library, we
have chosen the special event of World InterFaith Harmony week. The events purpose is to
break down barriers between all the demographics in the Pearl Cove community
and promote inclusivity.
This observance has been
chosen with the idea “that mutual understanding
and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of
peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony
between all people regardless of their faith.”
For more information on this observance you can find it

The event will take place
on Saturday, February 5th 2022 and what an event it looking to
be! We have members from the local Catholic church, Mosque, Buddhist temple and
a local member of the Aboriginal community as our "Books". They look
forward to conversing with a range of people and close any gaps there may be in
understanding of who they are, what they believe or where they are from as well
as many other subjects.
It is to be held in the Pearl Cove Library courtyard hopefully utilising the
advantage of a beautiful summers day. Food will be provided by our lovely
Library Cafe. As an added bonus, you will receive food vouchers upon booking
your time slot for the day to the value of $10!

great event!
