What is a human library?

The Human Library is an event where people are loaned to readers for personal conservation. These people are volunteers and they are called 'books'. These 'books' have personal experiences and can answer questions from readers to challenge stereotypes and prejudice about a topic. The loan duration of a 'book' can last up to 30 minutes and there is an age limit where readers under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult. The purpose of a Human Library is to challenge stereotypes and prejudice through conservation.

For further information please visit: https://www.humanlibraryaus.org/

This event will use the Human Library concept and NAIDOC Week to educate the community about Indigenous history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The 'books' will share their stories with the readers and this is an opportunity to spread their knowledge and experiences and allow the readers to understand their identity.

For further information please visit:

Our Books are:

1. A community elder who will talk about Indigenous history and culture.

2. An Indigenous sports person who will talk about her achievements.

3. An Indigenous person from the Azure Beach Writers group who will tell his Indigenous stories that he has created while in the writers group.

4. A young Indigenous person who speaks about what she wants to see in the future for Indigenous people.

What is a human library?

It's a movement that aims to address people's prejudices by helping them to talk to those they would not normally meet. It uses a library analogy of lending people rather than books. It started in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2000, and is now being adopted by libraries in Australia.

We're here to help. To commemorate Refugee Week, Azure Beach Library is proud to announce its human library event featuring speakers from refugee backgrounds.

What is the human library?

The human library is an event where people from the community can borrow a person's time to ask and learn all about their experiences.

Ever wonder about what it's like to flee a war-torn country? or how to start over from nothing? or maybe what's the better sauce, tomato or BBQ?

At the human library, you can ask all these and more (well maybe not the last one).

Interested? Be sure to book, places fill up fast!
