What is the Human Library?

?We have built a safe space for dialogue through personal conversation. A library of people ready to talk and share what they know and believe. We publish people for open and honest conversations. Where “people” are books and have been prepared to be read like an open book (published). They are ready to answer often difficult questions relating to issues that are often taboo or challenging to talk about, but necessary for people to get answers in order for them to better understand. We typically and foremost publish people that represent a group in the community that have been exposed to stigma, stereotyping or prejudices. These are typically based on occupation, ethnicity, religious belief, gender, cultural background, health, social status, lifestyle or disability.
