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.
