Time: 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM

Fee: This is a FREE event!
Find A Home in Me is one of Pearl Cove’s annual Human Living Library events. This year, Pearl Cove Library welcomes four new Human Living Books. Together, we will extend our arms and share stories of a growing reality of displacement, exclusion and human experience.
Homelessness in Australia has increased by 13.7% in the span of 5 years. That's about 50 individuals out of every 10,000 Australians. 20% (or 23,347) are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. 30% are born overseas. - Homelessness Australia
Choose to speak to one of our Human Living Books: Homelessness Australia representative, Indigenous Australian community member, War veteran who battled homelessness and Salvation Army staff member.
