Did you know that in 2023, it is estimated there are more than 400,000 Australians living with dementia?
That is why at Azure Beach Library we are holding a Human Library event in partnership with the Human Library Organisation to educate the community members of Azure Beach about dementia.
The event will give community members the chance to speak with the people closest to dementia sufferers. Their carers, their friends and their family members. Our patrons will be able to borrow these “living books” for up to 20 minutes at a time to discuss, educate, share and debunk the common myths and hurtful stereotypes surrounding dementia sufferers.
