Petoskey District Library

Saturday August 3, 11am-3pm

Carnegie Building



The Petoskey District Library is hosting a Human Library(c) event on Saturday, August 3, from 11:00am-3:00pm. In the best sense of the word, the Human Library(c) is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. However, instead of paper books, actual people are on loan for conversations. The concept is about acknowledging and challenging prejudice that we all carry towards one another. For that reason, the Human Library(c) creates a safe space for conversation where topics subject to taboo, marginalization, or stigmatization can be openly addressed without condemnation. The people acting as Books have directly or indirectly been exposed to prejudice, bias, or discrimination based on aspects of their person, heritage, or life experiences. At the Human Library(c), we invite in all questions and our Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with readers. Stop by and borrow an open Book for a conversation about prejudices and diversity. The concept is simple: show up and see what topics are available to borrow. Once you have chosen a Book that you would like to talk to, you can sit down and have an open conversation and learn about people that may be different than you.
