The Human Library is, in the true sense of the word, a library of people. Readers can borrow human beings, serving as open books and have conversations they would not normally have access to.

Every human book represents a group in society that is often subjected to prejudice or discrimination because of their lifestyle, diagnosis, belief, disability, social status, ethnic origin etc.
