The Human Library
July 15, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
FreeUnjudge someone! Check out one of our human books for a conversation that challenges stigma or stereotypes. Difficult questions are encouraged and answered!
The Human Library is an organization that has been around for 23 years and is based out of Copenhagen, Denmark. They have several publishing partners around the world, and we’re so excited to be one of them!
How does the Human Library work? The Human Library is a library of people. Readers can borrow human beings serving as “Books” and will be able to engage in interesting conversations on a variety of topics in a safe space where curiosity & understanding are at the heart of the event. All of our human books are volunteers with personal experience with their topic. Each reading with a Book will last roughly 30 minutes each.
What topics will the Books discuss? In the past, the Human Library has hosted a variety of Books such as “Recovering Alcoholic, Blind, Native American, Adopted, Intersex, Epileptic, Environmental Activist, Refugee, Bipolar, Autism, Jewish, Politician, Victim of Stalking” and over a hundred more topics from all over the world! We can’t announce beforehand what specific topics/titles we’ll have at this event, but we’ll have several to choose from!
