A Human Library is a way for people to reach out and connect with individuals in their community with whom they might not normally interact. Visitors to the library have an opportunity during the event to borrow and engage in conversation with a Human Book. These events promote tolerance, celebrate differences and encourage understanding of people who come from varied cultural or lifestyle backgrounds. Books can be checked out at the event or you may sign up in advance at the front desk. Please call Beauchamp Library for a list of available books and to register at (315) 435-3395.
