Get To Know The Land You Live On!
Are you interested in learning about Pearl Coves' native land?
Come together with local Aboriginal Elders and members of the Indigenous community to learn about the history of Pearl Cove.
As a part of History Week, 2021 we are hosting a Human Living Library Event where the books come to life as people and you can have one on one personal interactions with members of our local Aboriginal Community and listen to a side of history you don't always get to hear.
Event Details
Where: Pearl Room, Pearl Cove Library
When: 4pm Friday 10th September
Cost: FREE - bookings required
BOOK HERE - Pearlcovelibrary@events.com
What is a Human Library?
A library where the books are people and you get to have engaging conversations with local members of the indigenous community in a safe and inclusive environment, allowing people to talk about all sorts of things that don’t come up in conversation in our everyday lives.
The Human Living library was created to help fight stereotypes.
Our event will have 8 members of the local indigenous community which you get to have
1-on-1 conversations with or in small groups to ask and learn about Pearl Coves indigenous history.
Check out the Human Library Website for more information!
Pearl Cove Library acknowledges all First Peoples of the Aboriginal lands we operate on and celebrate their enduring connections to country, knowledge, and stories. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We are committed to a positive future for the Aboriginal community.
