Do you want to learn more about the people in our amazing community? To celebrate Harmony Week, join us and check out a living “human book.” 

The Human Library is a worldwide movement that seeks to break down sterotypes by bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and creating a space for them to tell their stories. And here’s the twist: these people are “books” and you, the borrower, can loan them for half an hour and engage in conversation. 

Our books include:

  • An Indigenous Australian elder
  • An Iranian woman
  • A Syrian immigrants' rights advocate
  • A Chinese person

To find out more about Harmony Week and see what's happening in your area click here.

A better future starts with understanding and compassion. 

Come and be part of the conversation.


Registration is essential. Register at Eventbrite

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
