An opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with people in your community in a unique setting
The Human Library Project started in Denmark in 2000 and occurs in more than 30 countries. Designed to create understanding and dialogue across people, individuals volunteer as “Human Books.” Attendees “check out the book” which means they have one-on-one conversations with the Human Books and share experiences.
Starter questions are provided, and Human Book volunteers represent diverse walks of life and identities across race, religion, family background, sexual orientation, gender, profession, hobbies, class, disability, skill set, and additional aspects of what it means to be human!
The Human Library will take place on Jan. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Belk Library.
