Human Library Toolkit
The "Human Library" toolkit was developed by the A.R.T. Fusion Association and Youth with a Global Vision Organisation as part of the “Don’t judge a Book by its Covers” project, funding by the European Commission through the Youth in Action Programme.
Aims of the tool
The purpose of this publication is to encourage and offer support to those who undertake the coordination of a Human Library. Through this guide we do not intend to offer the perfect recipe for the organization of a Human library because every library has its own basic ingredients and everything else is adapted by each and every organizer according to local circumstances.
Description of the tool
Human Library works as a real library – you as a reader can borrow a book for a limited period of time. There are two major aspects: the BOOKS are REAL PEOPLE and they enter in dialogue with the reader.
Human Library has every intention of drawing attention towards the acceptance of diversity because, often times, differences between people are not valued as resources. Most times, these differences lead to labelling, prejudice and ultimately to discrimination, suspicion and exclusion.
This guide, which will be made available to all the organizers of Human Libraries around Romania and UK, sums up the cumulated experience of several organizers, librarians, books and readers during, all of which were involved in similar events conducted in 2009-2011 and organised by A.R.T. Fusion and its partners.
