Where: Pearl Room, Pearl Cove Library 

When: 4pm Friday 10th September 

Cost: FREE -  bookings required

What is a Human Library?

A library where the books are people and you get to have engaging conversations with local members of the indigenous community in a safe and inclusive environment, allowing people to talk about all sorts of things that don’t come up in conversation in our everyday lives.

The Human Living library was created to help fight stereotypes.

Our event will have 8 members of the local indigenous community which you get to have 

1-on-1 conversations with or in small groups to ask and learn about Pearl Coves indigenous history. 

Check out the Human Library Website for more information!

Pearl Cove Library acknowledges all First Peoples of the Aboriginal lands we operate on and celebrate their enduring connections to country, knowledge, and stories. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We are committed to a positive future for the Aboriginal community.

Human Living Libraries is the concept of placing people in the capacity of resource, just like a book and offers living, and lived, personal experiences from individuals to convey knowledge.

War and Sacrifice - Anzac day 2018

War and Sacrifice
Photographic exhibition and Human Living Library
Date: Friday 20^th April
Time: 7pm
Venue: Pearl Room, Pearl Cove Library

For April and the lead-up to Anzac Day  2018, Pearl Bay Library explores the themes of War and Sacrifice. Using the concept of the Human Living Library as well as exhibitions and talks, we will present a multi-faceted look at the lives of those who have been caught up in, given everything to win, and tried to prevent conflict. The Human Library™ is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. The Human Library is a place where real people are on loan to readers. A place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.
