Indigenous Literacy Day is a national celebration of indigenous stories, language and culture. Pearl Cove school students will attend sessions over a two week period, interacting with Human Books. These Human Libraries will provide a primary source of information on Indigenous children in remote communities and the Pearl Cove indigenous community, past, present and future.

 Students will participate in The Great Book Swap in exchange for a gold coin donation. All proceeds are returned to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and invested into books that preserve the language and stories of the remote communities. So bring a book to swap and encourage literacy for all. For more information please refer to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation website.
