The Human
Library: borrow a person not a book
Storytellers
from around Australia have been involved in either contributing their skills to
train Human Books or have been a Book themselves.
Being a
storyteller isn’t about always doing the talking. Sometimes we’re asked to help
others liberate their stories so they can be heard. It’s not easy to shape a
lived experience into a story for telling. Australian Storytellers are great
networkers and have recently been sharing tips and experiences about training
Human Books.
Read about Human Libraries and be inspired. The
Australian website provides resource kits along with everything you need to
know to establish a Human Library in you area.
If you are in Melbourne and interested in seeing how it all
works, come to Springvale Library.
