The Human Library

  • University Campus Library CV4 7AL (map)

An extraordinary and unique opportunity to put yourself in someone else’s shoes – join the open, honest, and respectful conversation with Human Books.

Based on a personal conversation rather than a lecture or presentation, The Human Library aims to establish a positive framework and safe space for conversation between “readers” and a Human Book. More than just a story, it is an interaction and Q&A from a lived-perspective.

They say never judge a book by its cover and this is particularly true of The Human Library where the books are people engaging in an open and honest dialogue.

The Human Library covers all topics – a list as wide as our diverse community – and helps to overcome stigma, combat prejudice, dismantle stereotypes, inform ignorance, clarify misconceptions, debunk myths, end discrimination, and challenge negative attitudes

Exciting, engaging and surprising, here’s what previous readers say:

...we can come here and learn new things from people and become more open-minded...” | “...extremely thought-provoking...” | “… it was an amazing experience!
