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. We also publish topics of with heavy taboo including victims of incest, sexual abuse, domestic violence or parents that lost a child and other grief related topics. In our library of human beings every book is unique and can chose their own title based on their experiences. Often books can even share topics or strongly connect with related issues they may have in common with other books but they are different in content, expression and even cover presentation. However one thing that all books have in common is what is expected of them in their role as a book of the Human Library. To serve as a representative of your group, so that others may learn about life as/with/from... We do not give lectures or speeches. We do not have a presentation. We serve as an open book and it is up to the readers to ask us about our content. Naturally all books are encouraged to initiate the “reading” with a table of contents and a blurp. To give their readers an insight to the different chapters available and this always gets the conversation going.
