Virtual Human Library

 

The Albert S. Cook Library and the Center for Student Diversity are excited to bring the Human Library to TU virtually this year!

The events will take place on Tuesday, October 6, 3:30pm-5:30pm and Wednesday, October 7, 12:00pm-2:00pm via Zoom.

The Human Library is a conversation event, where people act as books with titles like: Muslim, Gay, Republican, Alcoholic, Lesbian, ADHD, Lower income, Transgender, etc. Essentially, people become a library of human beings! Books are checked out by patrons who want to have a conversation. Ultimately, the event hopes to challenge societal prejudices and to bring a better understanding of community to everyone involved. We want to show the world, “don’t judge a book by its cover!”

Ready to participate in this year’s Human Library? Volunteer to be a book or register to be a reader.
