Library offering human books for checkout

Human Library aims to create dialogue about different life experiences

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Pikes Peak Library District will host its third iteration of Human Library on Saturday, March 23. The event features human ‘books,’ people from all walks of life, available to discuss various topics related to life experiences. Participants can check out a ‘title’ to have a 20-minute conversation. Human Library hopes to break down stereotypes and create productive dialogue about topics many people may find difficult to discuss.

Titles for 2019 include Addict, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Christian Homemaker, Immigrant, Muslim, Physical Disability, Refugee and Serbian Concentration Camp Survivor, Schizophrenia, Skoolie, Transgender, White Black Girl, and more.
