The '˜human library' set to challenge prejudices

A '˜Human library' is coming to Sleaford with the aim of challenging prejudices and discrimination through social contact.

The event is being hosted by the Sleaford group Hearing Voices - Social Change in partnership with the library - with workshops and a one-day Human Library and conference set to take place.

The Human Library is an international equalities movement that challenges prejudice and discrimination through social contact. Just like in a real library, a visitor to the Human Library can choose from a range of titles. The difference is that the books are people, and reading is a conversation. The overall aim is to promote more understanding, breakdown barriers and enable people to get their views heard.
