Living Library

Join us for Living Library, where real people become “living books,” sharing their remarkable stories through one-on-one, 20-minute conversations.
This year’s theme, "Stories we Carry: Building Unity in Diversity" invites you to explore powerful personal journeys from individuals of diverse backgrounds who have helped shape our community through courage, culture, and connection.
These stories reflect the lived experiences of people who have bridged cultures, overcome challenges, and found belonging in new places. Through open dialogue and storytelling, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the resilience and richness within our community.
Come engage, listen, and learn. Each conversation is a step toward greater empathy, inclusion, and mutual respect.

Living Library is organized as part of the Cultural Expressions Festival, by the Multicultural Association of Fredericton Inc, in partnership with Fredericton's ethno-cultural groups and the Fredericton Public Library, through funding from the Immigration NB, City of Fredericton, Downtown Fredericton and Fredericton Community Foundation.
