LIVING LIBRARY DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER
HOW TO BORROW A HUMAN BOOK
The Living Library contains ‘Living Books’ (people on loan), who are taken out by the Reader (person borrowing the Book) for 30 minutes to explore the Book’s topic.
You’ll find the Living Library in the Kunming Garden - head on over to the tent next to the Pagoda to check in. Review the Book titles on offer, chat to the librarians about which Book interests you, and make a time to borrow the Book (for free) for 30 minutes.
This enables Books to tell their stories and their Reader to break stereotypes by challenging prejudices in a positive and often humorous manner. The library is designed to promote dialogue, reduce discrimination, encourage understanding and widen views on life, in a space set up for interaction through one-on-one conversation. The Living Library breaks down barriers so that communities can build tolerance and understanding of one another, even if they don’t agree with each other’s chosen way of life.
Please note - if you have made a booking but can no longer make your appointment, you can pass it on to someone else. To do this, simply text the name of the Book to 027 304 2098.
