Tewksbury Human Library

Saturday, November 17, 10am-1pm

A Human Library offers people as "books" to be lent out to curious readers who will ask them questions and challenge their perceptions on different groups in the community. Books have titles that aim to represent members of the community who are exposed to general misconceptions, stigma, stereotyping and/or prejudice. Titles will be loaned during the event in nine 15-minute sessions to individuals or small groups. Titles will be stationed in designated conversation areas around the building. The purpose of the Human Library is to challenge what we think we know about other members of the community, as well as our own stereotypes and prejudices in a positive framework, where difficult questions are accepted, expected and appreciated. No registration required. Register HERE.
