The
human
library
Are
you
interested
in
people
?
Ever
wondered
what
it's
like
to
be
someone
else
?
That's
what
you
can
do
at
The
human
library
!
I
first
encountered
the
concept
of
The
human
library
when
I
read
an
article
in
a
recent
issue
of
The
big
issue
,
a
newspaper
distributed
and
sold
by
homeless
people
in
the
UK
.
I
was
so
intrigued
by
the
idea
that
I
decided
to
investigate
further
.
The
idea
of
The
human
Library
has
been
around
for
a
while
,
its
founder
,
Ronni
Abergel
,
claims
that
the
inspiration
came
to
him
at
a
music
festival
in
2000
.
"
I
wanted
to
see
if
we
could
get
people
to
sit
down
with
someone
they
think
they
don't
like
,
unpopular
types
from
the
community
,
"
he
says
.
So
,
the
became
a
reality
and
'readers'
are
now
given
the
chance
to
interact
with
people
who
are
not
like
them
in
over
60
countries
worldwide
.
So
,
what's
it
like
as
an
attendee
?
In
the
report
I
read
,
the
writer
describes
having
a
choice
of
40
'titles'
,
or
people
,
to
chat
to
.
Each
individual
has
been
a
single
word
,
often
,
title
ranging
from
'unemployed'
,
'immigrant'
,
'refugee'
,
to
'homeless'
or
'single
parent'
.
There
is
on
hand
a
catalogue
featuring
the
'titles'
that
are
on
offer
at
the
event
together
with
a
list
of
the
most
common
and
prejudices
that
relate
to
each
title
.
Readers
then
can
listen
to
the
individual's
unique
story
,
in
a
secure
,
protected
,
environment
and
ask
questions
if
they
wish
.
What's
the
benefit
?
Well
,
although
some
critics
dismiss
it
as
only
reaching
people
who
are
already
open
-
minded
,
this
argument
cuts
little
ice
with
its
.
In
an
age
characterized
by
social
bubbles
and
online
'friendships'
,
there
need
to
be
greater
opportunities
to
engage
with
,
and
maybe
find
empathy
for
people
we
normally
give
a
wide
berth
.
At
the
very
least
,
it
gives
both
the
'books'
and
the
'readers'
an
opportunity
to
have
a
decent
conversation
and
an
exchange
of
ideas
.
This
can
be
as
beneficial
for
the
'book'
as
it
can
for
the
'reader'
.
If
you
are
planning
to
attend
an
event
near
you
,
it
is
best
to
be
prepared
.
Think
about
who
you
would
like
to
talk
to
,
what
questions
are
important
to
you
,
and
be
honest
and
any
prejudices
you
may
have
.
Most
important
of
all
,
listen
to
the
story
,
it
may
give
you
an
insight
into
another
experience
of
life
.
If
you
are
interested
in
organizing
an
event
in
your
own
community
,
it's
essential
that
you
seek
advice
first
on
identifying
the
resources
you
will
need
and
event
logistics
.

Taking
a
step
towards
better
understanding
and
improved
social
relationships
could
be
life
changing
,
not
just
for
the
books
and
readers
,
but
also
for
you
