This document discusses the Human Library, an event where "human books" are available to be "checked out" for conversations about their life experiences related to topics like discrimination, mental illness, or physical disability. The goal is to address prejudice through personal interactions. At the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, the Human Library is used in class assignments to foster empathy and understanding. Students reflect on conversations with human books and relate them to scholarly research on the topics. The Human Library benefits both readers and human books by increasing understanding and building community.
