Pearl Cove Library is Hosting a Dying to Know Day Human Library Event
Sunday August 8th 2021 2-6pm
It's time to talk about death, dying, and how to deal with the grieving process.
Dying causes a lot of stress and
costs a lot of money because we are often unprepared for it. Death is obviously a part of life but despite this it is a taboo and put off conversation.
By engaging in conversations with experts around death, alternative burial practices (which are cheaper and better for the environment), funeral wishes and what is to be done with property, early and explicitly the experiences around death and grieving are easier and less expensive. Allowing everyone to approach death with dignity.

But what is a human library event?
A human library is what it sounds like, a library collection not made of traditional materials but people: their lives, stories, and experiences.
Experts on a topic are 'books' available to be borrowed by readers for a thirty minute conversation.
