Don't Fear The Age

Azure Beach Library is proud to host a Human Living Library event, in conjunction with the NSW Seniors Festival in March. 

A Human Living Library event is essentially a library of people, where you can 'borrow' human beings and have conversation you may not always be able to have.

We have invited 4 local seniors, our 'living books' to come and openly chat and discuss their experiences and insights on aging. In small groups you will have the time to interact and connect with these books, ask questions, listen to stories, and learn from their experiences. 

This intimate event will take place in small groups within the library. By closely interacting with these 'living books' we hope to encourage connection within the community, increase understanding of aging, reduce stigmatisation and fear, and knock down any barriers people may face towards aging.

You will have the opportunity to move groups, allowing attendees to gain different perspectives and have different interactions with the living books.

Join us for this powerful and moving event at:

The Azure Beach Library, Pearl Cove.
