Human Library Open Call for Volunteer Books

All Day 7/31 - 9/9

Event Details:

We are currently in the process of recruiting human "books"! In the best sense of the word, The Human Library is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. However, instead of books, actual humans are on loan for conversations.
