Halifax’s human library

Libraries are useful places. Information can be found in books, films, CDs and much more.

But what about people?

The Halifax Public Libraries, along with CBC, are looking to host a human library on Saturday, Jan 26, from 10am to 2pm at the Keshen Goodman Library in Clayton Park.

The “books” in question include a variety of individuals, from activists to anthropologists, chefs to politicians, sex worker advocates to journalists.

For more information, check out the human library event page here.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
