For books, yesbut you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else39。s life. At one type of library, you can do just thateven though there39。s not a single book. At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the bookmeaning they would have a oneonone conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual39。s experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧視) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (難民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own longheld beliefsto truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about. According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the munity to share and understand the experiences of others in their munity. The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a fourday event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since. Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren39。t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don39。t need a library card—anyone can e and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. The stories these books tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And that39。s the very point of the organizationto prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can39。t judge a book by its coveror by its title or label. （1）The “books” in human libraries are____________.
