Messiah College Human Library Project – Where Humans Become Open Books

Messiah College Human Library Project – Where Humans Become Open Books, with guest speaker and author, Anthony Grooms

Immerse yourself in the pages of the books right in front of you. The 2nd annual Human Library Project is where Messiah students, faculty and staff become open books, sharing their personal stories with readers. The Human Library™ is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. The Human Library is a place where real people are on loan to readers. Please save the date and sign up to reserve a time to read/listen to the book of your choice at: http://libguides.messiah.edu/humanlibrary Overviews of the books may be viewed on the site. The Human Library Project is Wednesday, April 17, noon – 4 p.m. in the Murray Library. Please note that you sign up for individual sessions which are 30 minutes long with 10 minutes in between sessions. You can feel free to come and go throughout the afternoon. Also this year, guest speaker and author Anthony Grooms will be speaking about “Why Stories Matter” at 12:55 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. in the Library Athenaeum. Questions may be directed to Dr. Todd Allen, special assistant to the president and provost for diversity affairs, at tallen@messiah.edu or to Liz Kielley, associate librarian/technical services coordinator, at ekielley@messiah.edu.
