Welcome to the 6th Annual Human Library at the University Libraries
The Human Library Events aim to create dialogue and deeper understanding in the Aggie community. Students, Staff, Faculty and Community Members volunteer as Human Books representing individuals who have experienced discrimination based on race, religion, sexual preference, class, gender identity, sex, age, lifestyle choices, disability, and any other aspect of their life that has been seen through biases.
At the Human Library Events, ‘Readers’ will have the opportunity to sign up and interact with a Human Book to ask questions, learn more and share experiences. This year our event has been expanded and in addition to our signature event, there will also be a Book Club Event presented in a group setting - attendees will listen to a Book and after hearing their story, will be able to engage in a meaningful exchange through questions and shared dialogue.
Our Human Library Signature Event will offer a chance for an individual or a small group of Readers to have a 30-minute conversation to learn more about the Book's individual experiences.
