We worked with Nick at the Norfolk Library in Norwich, for their Norwich Pride exhibition of our chosen books. He’s asked us to post another event:
“We have another project that you might be able to help us with. It is called the Human Library (you may have heard about it – there was one at Pride this year). The Human Library attempts to challenge prejudice by encouraging dialogue between two individuals. It works just like a normal library, only Books are people and reading is conversation.
“On 3rd November Norwich is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Human Library and we are hoping to recruit more books. We already have a few from the LGBT community – 2 ‘Trans’ books, 2 ‘lesbian’ books, a ‘Gay Man’, ‘HIV Positive’. (Forgive the labelling but that is how the book titles appear). We want to recruit more books for this event so I was wondering if you might help.
“Could you ask you contacts if anyone would be keen to get involved in this project – it really is very exciting stuff. For more information please visit www.humanlibrary.org
