Tuesday, November 28th The Human Library is hosting an event at Cosumnes River College Library from 10AM to 2:30PM.
In the best sense of the word, the Human Library is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. However, instead of books, actual people are on loan for conversations. The concept is about acknowledging and challenging the prejudice that we all carry towards one another. For that reason, 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 the aspects of their person, heritage, or life experiences. At the Human Library, we invite in all questions and our Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with the readers.
You can come by in this timespan to borrow an open Book for a conversation about prejudices and diversity. The concept is simple; you show up at the Human Library desk, where you receive guidance from the librarians on the topics we have available for lending. Once you have chosen which open Book you would like to talk to, you can sit and have an open conversation where every question on the topic is welcome.
We look forward to seeing you and hope that you have a meaningful day.
