The library where the books are people

At the human library you borrow a person you wouldn’t usually meet for a half-hour frank conversation. It's hoped such chats will help break down our assumptions and prejudices.

At the human library you borrow a person you wouldn’t usually meet for a half-hour frank conversation. The volunteers have various book titles from polyamorous to former prisoner. The aim of these face-to-face chats is to break down our assumptions and prejudices. We explore whether simple discussions can make a difference.

Produced and presented by Claire Bates.
