The Human Library is an event aiming to create dialogue and deeper understanding in the FAU community.
The Human Library is an event aiming to create dialogue and deeper understanding in the FAU community. Students, staff, faculty and community members volunteer as human books representing individuals who have experienced discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation, class, gender identity, sex, age, lifestyle choices, disability, and any other aspect of their life that has been seen through biases.
On the day of the event “readers” select a book title they are interested in, go to the "book", and listen as the book shares its story. These reading sessions have no filters or editing. Everything here is real. Afterwards, readers can ask the books any questions with an open mind.
We ask our guests to please register for this event in advance at library.fau.edu/humanlibrary
