The Human Library Spring 2024 Event

Join us on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm at Ivy Tech Lawrence Campus for the Human Library. This event is free and open to students, faculty, staff, and the community.  

The Human Library Organization is a global movement working to build spaces in the community for personal dialogue about issues that are often difficult, challenging, and stigmatizing. The Human Library is a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated, and answered. Readers ask questions and get answers from a human "Book.” These Books have volunteered their time to share their stories and answer questions. Some stereotype categories represented include gender/sexuality, religion, lifestyle, family, and health. 

So how does it work? 

1. Show up at the event, and review the code of conduct.
2. Check out a Book that looks interesting to you. We’ll have posters on display that give you an overview of each human book. 
3. Have a respectful conversation with your Book. New conversations start every 30 minutes. 
4. Check out another Book and repeat! 
5. Complete a short feedback sheet.
