Living Library

Participants in the Human Library can “check out” human books for a limited period, usually around 30 minutes, during which they engage in one-on-one or group conversations. The goal is to promote dialogue, empathy, understanding, and challenge prejudices by allowing people to directly interact with individuals they might not typically encounter in their daily lives.

The Human Library aims to break down barriers, foster empathy, and promote a more inclusive society by encouraging open-mindedness and dialogue. It’s often organized by libraries, schools, universities, community centers, and other organizations as a way to promote diversity, tolerance, and understanding.
