August 3, from 11:00am-3:00pm. In the best sense of the word, the Human Library</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif;color:black">©</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> is a library of people and their experiences
with prejudice. However, instead of paper books, actual people are on loan for conversations. The concept is about acknowledging and challenging prejudice that we all carry towards one another. For that reason, the Human Library</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif;color:black">©</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">
creates a safe space for conversation where topics subject to taboo, marginalization, or stigmatization can be openly addressed without condemnation. The people acting as Books have directly or indirectly been exposed to prejudice, bias, or discrimination
based on aspects of their person, heritage, or life experiences. At the Human Library</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif;color:black">©</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">, we invite in all questions and
our Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with readers. Stop by and borrow an open Book for a conversation about prejudices and diversity. The concept is simple: show up and see what topics are available to borrow. Once you have chosen a Book
that you would like to talk to, you can sit down and have an open conversation and learn about people that may be different than you.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
