Human Library

Human LibraryCheck Out a Human Book…

The aim of the Human Library is to encourage conversations that challenge stereotypes and prejudices. During a Human Library event, customers check out human Books to read through one-on-one 20-minute conversations.

The Safety Harbor Public Library will host a Human Library event on Saturday, January 21 from 11am to 3pm. During the event, patrons check-out human Books for one-on-one conversations with the goal of fostering dialogue that challenges stereotypes and prejudices.

Sign Up For a Conversation

Below is a list of each Book that will be available for conversations at the event, along with a brief description. Click on any of the Book titles to be taken to a sign up form to reserve a time slot.

The idea for the Human Library was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Participants can "borrow" a person for a conversation and build a positive framework, in a safe space for conversations through understanding.
