To celebrate this year's International Youth Day Pearl Cove Library is going to be hosting a free Living Library event so come along and meet the range of youths who live in our community!
What exactly is a Living Library?
A living library is an event that allows people from all walks of life the opportunity to meet and have a chat, to ask questions and broaden their understandings about others.
These events began as a means to overcome discrimination and stigma within communities. They work by having a selection of people volunteer to be "books" to be "borrowed" for a period of time to answer questions about their lives and to chat about their experiences.
For more information on living libraries see : The Human Library Organization
Our Event
We have a great group of 15 volunteers from a range of backgrounds; from early school leavers, to youth activists, people who were your age 30 years ago and prospective employers who have all agreed to talk about their experiences and answer your questions.
Each "book" can be borrowed for a period of 20 minutes, to see the full list of titles and to book a session visit our Eventbrite.
Come along, have a chat, ask some burning questions and enjoy yourself!
