Nanna...Pop...is that YOU?

              

Oh Yay, BOOMER!   

That's right, this is what your Grandparents (or parents) generation were really up to when they were young(er). 
Pearl Cove Library is proud to present a Human Living Library event to celebrate the annual
NSW Seniors Festival, and give these lunatics a chance to explain themselves.

Talking Books?

Human Living Libraries are a global movement where...you guessed it, the books TALK! 
Living "Books" (actual people) volunteer to tell their stories, answer questions and discuss in their own words often taboo topics in a safe, inclusive space. Curious? Check them out here. https://www.humanlibraryaus.org/


Mystery's, Adventure & Secret Treasure?

Pearls of wisdom, whirlwind romances, sexual revolution and struggle for social change & equality...all this and more hidden right here amongst us. 
Help us celebrate the NSW Seniors Festival and discover some "Treasure" of your own. Wanna know more, check them out here. https://www.seniorsfestival.nsw.gov.au/home
