But what is
a Human
Library?
![Page 10: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

So how does a
human library
work?
Just like a real library,
a visitor to the human
library can choose a
book from a range of
titles. The difference
is that books are
people and reading is
conversation!
![Page 14: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Human Library was created for
the 2000 Roskilde Music Festival by
a group of Danish activists who
formed in response to a violent hate
crime. Their idea was to use the
language and mechanism of a
library to facilitate conversations
that challenge prejudice, thereby
reducing the risk of tension and
violence.
![Page 15: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So what will our
human library look
like?
![Page 16: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Our library and books will be
different from the one described
above, in that our books will be
about something that we are
passionate about or have a keen
interest in. Otherwise, it will be
very similar.
![Page 17: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Each person will be
conduct research and
create a 20 minute oral
presentation based on their
passion or interest.
A ‘blurb’ about your book
will form part of the library
catalogue, which will be
given to the ‘readers’ to
choose from.
![Page 18: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
On the day of the Human
Library, you will be borrowed
by at least 3 ‘readers’ at a
time. These ‘Readers’ will
come from various parts of
the ACS Egham community,
and will include one grade 9
student per book. In other
words, one of your
classmates will be one of your
readers.
![Page 19: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The reader will be
provided with the rules
for borrowing and read
a book in the Human
library. This way they
will know what they can
and can’t do with their
book.
![Page 20: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
To assist our ‘books’ in
improving for their next
‘edition’, readers will be
asked to write a short
‘book review’
afterwards, which will
be shared with the
‘books’.
![Page 21: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But what is
my book
going to be
about?
![Page 22: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
And how to
I prepare
for it?
![Page 23: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Well the how should be
easy and not so easy at
the same time!
The majority of work will
be done in your study
skills classes but you will
be expected to do some
preparation outside of
class.
![Page 24: If i were a book...intro to human library project](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051710/58ec8e581a28ab7f178b459b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
And the subject of
your book is up to
you!
