Human Libraries – Drouin Library

Celebrate Harmony Week by joining us in conversation and story-sharing with a culturally and linguistically diverse person. 

The Human Library is an idea first started in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. It aims to address people’s prejudices by helping them to talk to those they would not normally meet with the objective being to ‘undjudge someone’.

Volunteers from our multi-culturally diverse community, supported by a facilitator and a library staff member, will share their story in a relaxed setting with plenty of time for questions and reflections.

Sharing stories can be life affirming for the teller and a journey somewhere new for the listener. Refreshments will be provided (also life affirming!).

Bookings are preferred.

We have limited spaces available. If you are no longer able to make an event, please let us know so that others don’t miss out.

If you require more information, please phone us on 56 25 1564
