Human Library @ Skyline College

The Human Library was developed in Copenhagen in the spring of 2000 as a project designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue.  Since that time, hundreds of Human Library events have been held around the world.  

Find out more about the Human Library Project at http://humanlibrary.org.

Skyline College Library & Learning Center began hosting the Human Library in 2018 with support from a President's Innovation Fund (PIF).

On April 24, several “human books” will share their experiences as volunteers with "readers" via Zoom. 

The Human Library is open! To speak with a "human book," sign up as a "reader" and have a one-on-one conversation. (See below, "How You Can Participate on April 24")

Curious? Check out our Human Library Book Archives to read up on Books who've participated since 2018.
