We hear about them on the news, read about them online and of late, see them on the streets of Azure Beach, Pearl Cove...our neighborhoods.
Azure Beach Public Library, through the revolutionary and visionary idea of the Human Library, are bringing living books to you.
Yes, books that you can 'borrow' and ask any burning questions you might have...You ask, they answer...they want you to know why? When? How?
These books have endured first hand what leaving your home country is like, in the middle of the night, after hiding in a basement for weeks on end. They have overcome unimaginable obstacles and challenges to become free, safe and what we call a refugee.
Some of these books are Australians, but of Islamic faith, that have been called terrorists, oppressors of women, fundamentalists...
Now, you have the opportunity to ask them about the truth, about their point of view. Changing the World can be real, starting with one conversation at a time...
One living book, You and 20 minutes...that's all you need.
See you there!
