The Human Library

The Human Library is an innovative method designed to promote dialogue, reduce prejudices and encourage understanding. People from all walks of life, with a story to tell, act as books. Visitors to the Human Library are given the opportunity to speak informally with "people on loan".
Would you like to be a living book in the Human Library? If you have a story to tell, have lived through a special event or a part of a group often discriminated against then we would like to hear from you. The library also requires volunteers to act as 'librarians' - both positions will be in return for a free ticket to the festival.
For more information see human library.org or to volunteer as a Living Book or a Librarian visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/R7VCYZH
