17:00 – 20:00
SOLD OUT - HUMAN LIBRARY - SOLD OUT!
Bermuda College Library
SOLD OUT! In the best sense of the word, The Human Library is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. However, instead of paperback books, actual people are on loan for conversations.
The concept is about acknowledging and challenging the known and unknown biases we all carry towards one another. It’s an opportunity to UnJudge someone.
For that reason, The Human Library creates a safe space for conversations where topics subject to taboo, marginalisation or stigmatisation can be openly addressed without condemnation.
The people who are Books have directly or indirectly been exposed to discrimination, bias or prejudice based on aspects of their person, heritage or life experiences.
At The Human Library, we invite all questions and our Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with the Readers.
Registration required as seats are limited. https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/h3sns5y

Human Library at OVL
43 Wianno Ave, Osterville, MA, United States, Massachusetts 02655
The Human Library creates a safe space to check out a Human Book and have honest conversations that explore the stereotypes and prejudices in society. Human Books hail from all walks of life – those who have been stereotyped or experienced prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, class, gender identity, lifestyle choices, disability, or other differences.
Participants at the event ‘read’ the books by way of a one-on-one or small group conversations with the volunteer to learn about their experiences with discrimination. The Human Library provides the opportunity for attendees to listen, share, and ask questions of people they may never have spoken to otherwise.
Come with questions and an open mind. You can come to event anytime between 10 AM and 2 PM to read. Readings are approximately 25 minutes for each book, so plan accordingly.
For more information on this event please contact Cyndy Cotton at cyndycotton@clamsnet.org or Amy Wolfe at awolfe@clamsnet.org

Did you know that not all libraries have books? On Saturday Oct 19, The Human Library is hosting an event at the Ellensburg Public Library from 2pm to 6pm.
In the best sense of the word, The Human Library is a library of people who have experienced prejudice. Instead of paperback books, actual people are on loan for conversations. 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.
Stop by between 2:00pm and 6:00 pm to borrow an open Book for a conversation about topics like mental health, cultural identity, religion, gender, occupation, ethnicity, and social status. The concept is simple: you show up at the check-in counter, where you receive guidance from librarians on the topics that we have available for lending. Once you have chosen your Book, sit down and have an open conversation where your questions on the topic are welcome.

12:00 – 15:00
Human Library at Norwich Book Festival, the Forum
The Forum, Norwich, NR2 1, United Kingdom
This Saturday we’ll be featuring the Human Library at the first Norwich Book Festival. These Human Library conversation experiences allow you the opportunity to take out a Human Book for 30-minutes and have a comfortable dialogue about sometimes uncomfortable topics. Bring your courage and curiosity to our tables.
We are open for conversations from 11-2pm UK timings, last reading around 1.30pm.
Our Human Books are drawn from groups in society that are stigmatised or stereotyped, marginalised, mistreated, or misunderstood, from race to religion or refugees, disability to discrimination, LGBT to mental health, and more. Come along and have a chat with a Book (all questions are welcome without judgement) or just chat to us about the concept and perhaps get involved.
The Human Library publishes people as open books to explore stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. – Ronni Abergel, founder (Denmark, 2000)
