Description:
The McConnell Library at Radford University presents the event the "Human Library: Everyone has a Story to Share" on Monday, September 25, 2017 on the lawn outside of McConnell Library.

Please join us for our fifth Human Library. “Books" at the Human Library are real people with a desire to enter into authentic conversations with others in order to challenge prejudices, promote understanding, and encourage mutual respect. These volunteers will share their personal stories during 20-minute conversations.

Visitors have the opportunity to speak with one of our human "Books" to learn about their experiences and perspectives. In addition to bringing our Highlander community closer together through talking to each other, this event challenges prejudices, promotes understanding, and encourages mutual respect through open dialogue.

It’s about talking to each other, reflecting our diverse set of experiences, and adding more empathy and a sense of community across our campus.

"Book" Titles include:
• After College: Off the Map
• Avoiding the Abyss
• Behind the Pikachu
• The Educational Journey Towards Self-Discovery
• Finding Purpose After Faith
• From Chemicals to Natural
• From Hungry to Full
• I'm a Human Dory
• Infertility and Peri-Menopause at 28
• Losing Myself in College
• Lots Done in Little Time
• Millennial Motherhood in Academia
• Surviving Addiction
• When the Child Becomes the Parent: Dealing With Dementia

This event was previously branded on Radford’s campus as the Living Library. This year, we’ve retitled this as the Human Library, to focus on the central concept of people talking to people.

Admission is free.

Sponsored by McConnell Library, The Scholar-Citizen Initiative, The Center for Diversity & Inclusion and Women’s and Gender Studies.
