The Ottawa Public Library is lending a stripper, a prostitute, a Somali refugee, a judge, an HIV-positive man, a Peking Opera performer, a woman born as a man, a police officer and a bipolar man as part of its Human Library program.
The Human Library is an incredible program that started in Denmark in 2000, when an anti-violence group was asked to build a program that would promote dialogue, reduce prejudices and encourage understanding. It has since been replicated around the world in large and small libraries, including school libraries.
