Come and borrow a living book! As part of refugee week we are holding a human library event where you can talk to refugees new to our country.

What is a human library?

The Human Library is an international organization and movement that first started in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2000. It aims to address people's prejudices by helping them to talk to those they would not normally meet. The organisation uses a library analogy of lending people rather than books.
