Montgomery County Human Library 2026

The Crawfordsville District Public Library and Humans United for Equality invite you to participate in the Human Library.

The Human Library is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. Instead of books, actual people are on loan for conversations.

Come by any time between 10 am and 2 pm to borrow a Book for a conversation about prejudices and diversity. The concept is simple; you show up at the library counter, where you receive guidance from librarians on the topics available for lending. Once you have chosen the Book you want to talk to, you sit down and have an open conversation where every question on the topic is welcome.

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 conversation 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 as our Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with the readers.
