A Human Library is an event that aims to create dialogue and understanding between people. How? By talking to people.
“Books” are community members who have volunteered to share their experiences of prejudice and/or discrimination based on race, religion, sexual preference, class, gender identity, disability, or another aspect of their lives.
“Readers” and “Books” engage in a dialogue designed to expose people to experiences that are different from their own and to encourage a deeper understanding among members of a community.
