This sounds absolutely fascinating!

At the Human Library, people from your very own community become ‘open books’, sharing their story with Readers (that’s you!) who ‘check them out’ for a short time to listen and dialogue. It’s a great opportunity to talk with someone you may never otherwise meet in order to open to new ideas and experiences.
