Harmony Day celebrates cultural diversity and builds respect and inclusiveness, and the theme for the day is Everyone Belongs.
The library is partnering once again with Manning Valley Neighbourhood Services and the Migrant Settlement Project to reflect on our community, our acceptance and inclusiveness of all cultures.
The library is calling on locals to help map our cultural diversity in an interactive display from now until Harmony Day. Residents are asked to call into the Taree Library and check the world map, Australian map showing the First Nations and the MidCoast Council regional map.
Residents are encouraged to place a dot on any of the maps showing where you are from - it is hoped to collect a lot of dots and get a visual representation of our diversity.
Kicking off at 10.30am on March 20, the library will be hosting performances by Wingsong Choir and Taree High School's indigenous dancers Djarii Burraydjar and Girambit Wanggaliyn, followed by morning tea. This is a chance to check out the maps and the dots.
After a cuppa and chat, films including Charlie's Country and Constance on the Edge will be screened.
The event is free, but bookings are necessary for the film screenings. Visit midcoastlibraries.com.au/events.
During March parents and carers of preschool aged children can bring their children to MidCoast Libraries to enjoy stories from around the world, craft and morning tea.
