Join us at Pearl Cove Library this October for another exciting event in our Human Library series. To coincide with NSW GambleAware Week, the theme this month is Be GambleAware: Check in + Share. This is an 18+ event for anyone in our community affected by - or curious to learn about - gambling addiction.
Simply register for a thought-provoking chat with our human 'books'.
What is a Human Library?
Human Libraries are libraries where the 'books' are people! Borrow a 'book' for a one-on-one conversation on a theme based on that 'book’s' experience.
The purpose of Human Libraries is to challenge stigma, prejudice and stereotypes in order to support diversity and inclusion in our community. Previous events held at Pearl Cove Library include themes of: autism, mental health, LGBTIQA+, minority cultures and subcultures.
The 'books':
- Emmanuel 'Lucky' Peterson - former Sportsbet addict, motivational speaker and founder of Punt the Punt
- Jane - family member of a gambling addict
- Noni - anti-gambling campaigner
- Monaro - Indigenous community services worker
