Pico Branch Library2201 Pico Blvd.Santa Monica, CA90405-1719 Map
Take out a Human Book at Pico Branch Library in Santa Monica for a 30-minute conversation about sometimes uncomfortable topics. Bring your courage and curiosity to our tables.
We are open for conversations from 9 AM to 12 PM.
No reservation needed, just show up at the library counter and choose what Book you would like to read.
It is free of charge as always and we welcome everyone.
Our Human Books are drawn from groups in society that are stigmatized or stereotyped, marginalized, 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.

Menneskebiblioteket åbner for udlån på Guldborgsund Bibliotek den 22. februar fra 10.30 - 14.30.
Det betyder, at du i dette tidsrum kan komme forbi og låne en menneskebog til en samtale om fordomme og mangfoldighed.
Konceptet er enkelt. Du møder op ved biblioteksskranken, hvor du modtager vejledning fra vores bibliotekarer omkring de emner, som vi har til rådighed for udlån. Når du har valgt hvilken menneskebog, du vil snakke med, kan I sætte jer og have en åben samtale, hvor alle spørgsmål om emnet er velkomne.
Vi glæder os til at se dig til en spændende og hyggelig dag!
-----------------------------------
The Human Library is visiting Guldborgsund Library from 10.30 AM to 2.30 PM.
Here you can borrow an open book for a conversation on prejudices and diversity.
The concept is simple. You show up at the library counter, where you receive guidance from the librarians on the topics we have available for lending. Once you have chosen which human book you would like to talk to, you can sit in the library and have an open conversation, where every question on the topic is welcome.
We are looking forward to seeing you and hope that we have an exciting day.
Bermuda National Library
The Human Library is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices. The Human Library is a place where real people are on loan to readers. A place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered. The Human Library is a danish idea from 2000 and is now available in more than 80 countries.
Join us for the first Bermuda Human Library experience, where readers can borrow human beings serving as open books and have conversations they would not normally have access to.
Every human book from our bookshelf, represents a group in our society that is often subjected to prejudice, stigmatisation or discrimination because of their lifestyle, diagnosis, belief, disability, social status, ethnic origin etc.
In each 30 minute interaction between Reader & Book, questions are expected, encouraged & appreciated. Be curious & ask questions . . . If we never ask, how can we ever learn? As long as your questions come from a place of respect, our Books are more than happy to answer them all! This way we might be able to understand one another better.
Hollis Room
A Human Library® works to build spaces in the community for personal dialog about issues that are often challenging and stigmatizing. Difficult questions from readers are expected, appreciated, and answered.
Join us for the opportunity to engage with a living "book" for 30 minutes to learn something new about another's experience and maybe discover a bit about yourself along the way!

Human Library - Unjudge someone
VHS Dülmen
Die Human Library® ist ein global aktiver und innovativer Lernort für alle. Ein Lernort, der zu einer inklusiven Gesellschaft beitragen möchte, in der jede:r willkommen ist.
In der Human Library sind Menschen die Bücher, die ausgeliehen und gelesen werden können. Menschen, zu denen ein Titel passt, der zu Vorurteilen führt. In einem sicheren Rahmen können Gespräche entstehen, die Vorurteile und Stereotype in Frage stellen. Ein Ort an dem schwierige Fragen nicht nur erlaubt sind, sondern auch erwartet werden. Tabu-Themen sollen ohne Bewertung besprochen werden, Menschen tauschen sich aus, die in ihrem Alltag nicht aufeinandertreffen würden, Komfortzonen werden bewusst verlassen.
Wider- oder entsprechen Sie einem Klischee? Sind Sie ein offenes Buch voller Erfahrungen von denen Leser:innen profitieren würden?
Möchten Sie dazu beitragen, dass Vorurteile und Stereotypen in Frage gestellt werden. Dann möchten Sie vielleicht von uns veröffentlicht werden.
Wir suchen noch Bücher für unsere Bibliothek und versprechen, dass wir uns gut um sie zu kümmern werden. Ein Buch in der Human Library zu sein, ist sicherlich ein unvergessliches Erlebnis und eine Möglichkeit Menschen zu begegnen, die ganz anders sind als wir - mit denen wir aber dennoch eine große Menge gemeinsam haben.
Sie möchten ein Buch sein? Dann melden Sie sich gerne bei uns!
