Come by to borrow an open Book for a conversation about prejudices and diversity. 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 Book you would like to talk to, you can sit and have an open conversation where all of your questions are welcome. The Human Library is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. Instead of paperback books, actual people are on loan for conversations. The concept is about acknowledging and challenging the prejudice that we all carry towards one another. For that reason, The Human Library creates a safe space for conversations 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.
