What is a Living Library?
Living Library gives direct access to someone else’s experience, by allowing
people to ‘Borrow’ a Book i.e. a person who has significant experience or a
different perspective to share. It can be used to confront stereotypes and
prejudices, to explore diversity, encourage community cohesion or simply to
stimulate conversations (Loans) that otherwise might not happen.
