In celebration of International Women’s Day, join this very first Human Library event hosted by the Pearl Cove Library.
For teenagers and young adults, however, the general public is welcomed.
Booking essential. Bookings open on 8 February via Eventbrite.
What’s a Human Library?
In the Human Library, a book is a person that volunteered to represent a stigmatized group in the community. The books, based on their personal experiences, can answer questions from readers to help challenge what is being said/told/understood about a given topic.
More information on Human Library.
What to anticipate on the day?
We invited 12 “books” to provide their experience on equality of opportunity. They offer different perspectives including that from the indigenous community, single parents, senior citizens, and equality right activists.
The borrowers will be able to “borrow” the book for 20-30 minutes. Have a conversation, ask questions, share experiences, challenge mindsets. The books are able to surrender to the agenda of the reader and allow them control of the conversation.
