Unjudge someone! Check out one of our human books for a conversation that challenges stigma or stereotypes. Difficult questions are encouraged and answered!

What is the Human Library? It's an organization originating in Denmark designed to "unjudge someone." The Human Library involves conversations between Readers (that's you!) and Books (our trained volunteers!). Readers borrow people serving as "Books" and will engage in interesting conversations in a safe space where curiosity & understanding are at the heart of the event. Our human books are volunteers with lived experience with their topic. Each reading with a Book will last roughly 30 minutes each.

What topics will the Books discuss? In the past, the Human library has hosted a variety of Books such as "Recovering Alcoholic, Blind, Native American, Adopted, Intersex, Epileptic, Environmental Activist, Refugee, Bipolar, Autism, Jewish, Politician, Victim of Stalking" and over a hundred more titles from all over the world! We can't announce beforehand what specific topics/titles we'll have at this event, but we'll have several to choose from!
