Human Library

The Gardner-Harvey Library is reaching beyond its normal array of books, DVDs, and articles, and sharing the stories of a collection of people: a Human Library. Our human books each represent a different group, occupation, or identity in our society. You will have the opportunity to spend time in breakout rooms with as many books as you would like and hear their stories. Maybe there is a question that readers have always wanted to ask someone about their hobby, their religion, their job, or their way of being in the world. Through conversation, we can work against bias, prejudices, and stereotypes and enhance common understanding.
