The Human Library

The concept of "The Human Library" has been gaining traction all over the world. During Human Library events, actual people, rather than books, are on loan for conversations. It is a library of people and their experiences dealing with prejudice. The objective is about acknowledging and challenging the prejudice we all carry towards one another. For that reason, the Human Library creates a safe space for conversation where topics subject to taboo, marginalization, or stigmatization can be openly addressed without condemnation. The people acting as books have directly or indirectly been exposed to prejudice, bias, or discrimination based on aspects of their person, heritage, or life experiences. At the Human Library, we invite all questions, and our books engage in sharing their personal experiences with the readers. We invite you to stop by to listen to their stories.
