The Human Library is sponsored by University of Alberta International (the Global Education Program), Human Resource Services (the Employment Equity Program), and the University of Alberta Libraries.
A Human Library is a space where visitors can speak one-on-one or in very small groups to “people on loan” or human “books”. The “books” are individuals from various demographics who have experienced stereotyping or prejudice or who have undergone a life experience that is often mischaracterized or misunderstood. The goal of the Library is to create a place where students, staff and community members can explore diverse perspectives, challenge stereotypes and reaffirm human dignity through respectful conversations with human “books”. 
We are committed to making the events accessible for all interested participants. Sign language interpreting services, realtime captioning, or other access-related services or accommodations can be arranged. Please contact us directly by March 2, 2017 at <A HREF="mailto:edi.week@ualberta.ca" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">edi.week@ualberta.ca</A>.
