Women's Health Week 2021
♢
A Human Living Library Event
Women's Health: Why yours doesn't matter?
Women’s Health Week was created by Jean Hailes back in 2013, and is a nationwide campaign of events and online activities – all centred on improving women’s health and helping you to make healthier choices.
Holding an event for WHW would allow women to participate in dialogue created by women for women. We at Pearl Cove Library believe this is a social issue that would be nothing but informative and beneficial for the women of our community.

How Human Living Libraries work?
Essentially, as a normal library and it’s average events would. Our library has sought out ‘living books’ – volunteers who could be considered specialists, in their own regards, to the Women's Health issue. You, the guest, will get to 'borrow' a 'book' and get the chance at an open dialogue. All in an attempt to encourage diversity, open-mindedness, and challenge prejudice.
