Date: Saturday 17/02/18
Time: 11am – 3pm
Location: Pearl Room – Pearl Cove Library, 24 Beach Street Pearl Cove
Celebrate the diversity of our community this Valentine’s
Day at Pearl Cove Library.
We are holding a human living libraries event where
members of the community can chat with a “human book”; a
resident of Pearl Cove with a story to share. Human living libraries events are
held worldwide and give attendees a valuable opportunity to speak to people
with very different experiences to their own and gain a new perspective. More
information about the concept can be found at http://humanlibrary.org/about-the-human-library/
.
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, all of our human books
will be speaking about love. Our human books include a disability activist, an
Indigenous Elder, a couple in an arranged marriage, a local lesbian, a refugee,
and a senior citizen. Attendees can reserve a 15 minute session with the book/s
of their choice when they arrive at the event.
This event is free and light refreshments will be provided. We hope to see you there!
