The Human Library concept is of a library that lends people rather than books. The ‘books’ are people who have experienced prejudice, social exclusion or stigma, and they are borrowed by ‘readers’ who can ask any question they like, to both learn about the other person and also challenge their own prejudices.

Three members from Headway East London will join a group of individuals who have all dealt with prejudice in their lives – ‘readers’ can choose which person they would like to speak with during the session, and can begin to explore how other individuals experience the world.
