22.01.2022 Thank you Red Thread and all of the other great community organisations who came along to another successful Community Diversity Expo. So good to have you share your knowledge with these young change-makers at Cosgrove High School.

21.01.2022 Congratulations to the Grade 7 students and teachers at Cosgrove High School on their wonderful Action Day yesterday. The students presented their ideas for improving the world around them with clarity, vision and interesting activities! It's been a challenging year and this opportunity to advocate for the things they are passionate about can only strengthen individual and community resilience. Amazing support on the day from Grade 8s & 9s too!

16.01.2022 We are proud to announce that, with the invaluable help of 2PM Services, the Hobart Human Library has gone virtual! the vHHL was developed in response to the challenges of COVID-19 and, though restrictions are lifting, we have decided that it will continue to be one of the programs that we offer. Going virtual has created new possibilities for the way that the HHL team and workplaces can engage with the HHL. We are excited about moving into this next phase of the Hobart Human Library and growing our impact! Our thanks again to everyone - the 2PM team, human 'books, HHL librarians - who has helped to develop the vHHL.
