“Human Books” challenge stereotypes through respectful conversation with others. During the Human Library, volunteers from our campus community act as books. Titles of all Human Library books relate to one or more aspects of the volunteer’s identity; usually, an identity that has faced bias or discrimination. Human Books are checked out by patrons for a short conversation. During these 15-30 minute conversations, we hope to challenge societal prejudices and bring a better understanding of community to everyone involved. Join us on Tuesday, October 16th and Wednesday, October 17th from 12pm–4pm at the University Union in rooms 314–316 to participate.
This program is sponsored by Albert S. Cook Library and the Center for Student Diversity. For questions, email diversityworks@towson.edu.
