Human Library
The Human Library is coming to Deep River! Join us for conversations and connections with human books from our community.
The Human Library is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. The Human Library is a place where real people are on loan to readers. A place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.
Books are people who have a story to tell that could help to dispel assumptions or foster understanding. Human Libraries have offered “books” with titles such as “Trans-gendered”, “Wiccan”, “Bipolar”, “Living with an Addiction”, or “Refugee”, to name a few.
