Our Human Books are drawn from groups in society that are stigmatised or stereotyped, marginalised, mistreated, or misunderstood, from race to religion or refugees, disability to discrimination, LGBT to mental health, and more.

This Saturday, we're featuring the #HumanLibrary at the 1st #NorwichBookFestival. These conversation experiences allow you the opportunity to take out a Human Book and have a courageous dialogue about sometimes uncomfortable topics. #UnjudgeSomeone 11-2pm @TheForumNorwich

@MattRobBry @iconawrites Thank you for commenting. We are part of @TheHumanLibrary globally, founded in Denmark. In the UK, we have events in Norwich 26/10, Glasgow 2/11, and London 2/2 next. humanlibrary.org

@iconawrites One of the most innovative libraries I’ve encountered is the @HumanLibraryUK which creates a ‘dialogue room,’ where taboo topics can be discussed openly, without condemnation. A place where people who would otherwise never talk find room for conversation.

It would be fun if public libraries were well-funded and open in the evenings and we built a culture where it’s normal to gather at the library after work and browse the shelves and chat about the latest books and read the Saturday night away.

Come along to the Human Library in #Colchester this Saturday, as part of @EssexBookFest's LISTEN UP, a day exploring and celebrating lived experience in all its forms. We'll be at @samaritans Community Hall 11am-3pm. All welcome! @HumanLibraryUK essexcdp.com/event/humanlib…

This article from CNN about our work is not new. But the need for conversations about our diversity, is greater than ever. So well worth a read if you missed it. #CNN #HumanLibrary #UnjudgeSomeone edition.cnn.com/2021/11/14/hea…
