The Human Library is a place to check out someone who volunteers to be an open book about some part of their life's story. It's a one-on-one conversation where one person, the book, tells their story and the other, the reader, can ask questions and meet someone they didn't know before or learn more about someone they have!
You can sign up at the library for 20-minute slots to check out a book before the event, or walk in to see if any slots are available on the day of.
