8th of March 2018 @ 11am
Reserve by 1st February
International Women’s
Day is a worldwide event that celebrates women’s achievements – from the
political to the social – while calling for gender equality. It has been
observed since the early 1900s and is now recognised each year on March 8.
Pearl Cove Public Library is planning an International Women’s Day event for
local community in 2018.
We believe that
increasing opportunities for women and girls is our essential response to our community
that creates health, security and prosperity for families and society as a
whole.

Meet some members of our “human living library” who are available to discuss their own hardship and success with literacy. Learn more about human living libraries
Illiteracy affects many adults in our society and they often
feel embarrassment, low self-worth and have no idea about how to access help. Some
rely heavily on family and friends to help them get by in our highly literate world.
This event will let those who are struggling with illiteracy know that there is
help available.
Please join us for afternoon tea
