The concept of a human library differs from other physical forms of library materials because the books in a human library are humans who can share their stories with users.
We will provide a safe space for ‘readers’ to speak and learn informally with a human ‘book’. Our ‘books’ are members of the local community and have experienced prejudice and discrimination during their lives because of their gender, appearance, culture, or religion.
You can ‘check out’ one of our volunteers for 20-25 minutes to talk and learn about their lives. Come have a conversation one-on-one with people from all over the world who have come to our country and community to seek a new life and the opportunities we are able to provide.
