Lismore's Human Library

(Click to download LINK-UP)

Living Book stories are very diverse ranging from people from varied religious, social or ethnic backgrounds to people who have had interesting life experiences. By borrowing a Living Book you can get to know more about the people that make up our community. You might not normally get to interact with everyone in your community and the Living Library is a great way to meet different people and exchange ideas in a safe, friendly environment.
