"The Human Library welcomes you to explore our 2nd Fall Human Library Event from 1:30 - 4:00 PM on November 9th in the Special Collections Library! Check out our living books and participate in a space for sharing life experiences, challenging stereotypes, and tackling prejudices through learning and dialogue.’

ARRIVAL
Please come to the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, where check-in begins at 1:30 pm. Our librarians will have a catalog of the books that are featured at the event. There will be volunteers present to help guide each of the shifts from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. Lunch will be served at 1:30 p.m. As you check in, you will have the option to choose up to 4 books, one for each reading session. The Library will work on a first come first serve basis. Please arrive early before the book you want gets capped!

Disclaimer: If you happen to be a late arrival please come to the check-in table, and we will situate you. We will let you know what books are available and place you in the next available session.

DURING EACH SESSION
During the session, each book will have the discretion of their time. The way each book tells its story will be different, as well as the time they take to tell their story; while one book may give 20 minutes for Q and A another may only give 5 minutes. At the end of the 25 minutes, a volunteer will knock on each door to alert that time is up, so no need to keep track.
