The Human Library is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. Participants--readers--can borrow human books to have conversations they would not normally have access to. Every human book is a community member and will represent a group in our society that is often subject to prejudice, stigmatization, or discrimination because of their lifestyle, diagnosis, belief, disability, social status, ethnic origin, etc. 

Join us as a reader and enjoy 30 minute conversations with our books and learn about a life experience that may be different from your own. 

No registration necessary. Upon arrival, readers will be given a library card and will be directed to the location of the human books they want to read.

This program is presented by the Human Relations Commission of Abington and the Abington Township Public Library.
