Do you want to celebrate diverse backgrounds? 

Come to the Human Library, which provides opportunities for diverse and often marginalised members of society to share their rich stories and experiences. Sharing in a safe space creates acceptance and unity amongst everyone. Come and hear our four human books: a person with autism, a person who has been homeless, a person who is Muslim, and a person who was unemployed.
