Human Library

Borrow a book and see our full Library schedule here.

36 incredible business owners, leaders and community members will be "books" that can be "borrowed" for a 25 minute, 1:1 conversation to share their passions, projects and perspectives.

The concept is called a Human Library and is based on the belief that everyone has a story to tell, and that sharing these stories can build greater understanding, empathy, and connection within communities. Since originating in Denmark, Human Libraries have since spread globally as an innovative way to promote inclusivity, diversity, and cultural exchange.

March 23rd, 12pm-3pm
Sara - "Fearless Flavor: A Delightful Journey through Culinary Entrepreneurship, Showbiz, and Embracing Failure"
James - President, Gardner Walker Inc.
Samantha - "Building tenant power in Oakwood Vaughan"
Moth -"Toronto history and what is wrong with the ways it is usually told."
Tina - "Breaking the Boxes"
Bill - "I Love Oakwood-Vaughan Village"

Some things to note:
-Please arrive 10 minutes before your first conversation
-Some conversations are hosted downstairs (one flight). Should this inhibit your participation, please let us know so we can adjust locations to increase accessibility.
