The goal of the Human Library is to challenge stereotypes and biases.

 

The Texas A&M University Libraries are looking for “human books” to participate in its fourth annual Human Library on the afternoon of March 4 in Sterling C. Evans Library. The event aims to create dialogue and deeper understanding in the Aggie community.

Texas A&M students, faculty, staff and others who have experienced discrimination based on race, religion, sexual preference, class, gender identity, sex, age, lifestyle choices, disability, and any other aspect of their lives are encouraged to sign up to participate as a human book.

At the event, campus and community members “check out” a human book to have a 30 minute conversation that challenges stereotypes and biases.

Join as a reader or a book. If you’d like to join as a book, fill out the following form: Human Library Book Sign Up.

Visit the Human Library site for more information.
