Human Library

Real people, real stories. Guests can “borrow” living Books — individuals who’ve faced bias, broken boundaries, or simply have a story that opens minds.

Books are available for loan between 12PM-4PM and everyone is welcome to stop by and borrow our books. Readers under 15 must be with an adult.

When you arrive at the library desk, you will be greeted by a volunteer Librarian, who will introduce you to our guidelines and available topics. Once you’ve picked out a title that you want to learn more about, the librarian will introduce you and your book.

The reading is an open conversation, where all questions on the topic are welcome. You may return your book whenever you are ready within the 30 minutes!

This event is presented in coordination with The Human Library Organization and Skye Emerson.
