What is a Human Library? It's a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. However, instead of hard copy books, actual people are on loan for conversations. The concept is about acknowledging and challenging the prejudice that we all carry towards one another. 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 Human 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 in all questions, and our Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with the readers.
The concept is simple; you show up at the library counter where you receive guidance from the librarians on the topics we have available for lending. Once you have chosen which open Book you would like to talk to, you can sit and have an open conversation where every question on the topic is welcome.
We look forward to seeing you and hope you have an interesting afternoon!
