Human Library
RCPL's Human Library is back!

The aim of the Human Library is to foster conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices. On Saturday, September 17 from 1:30-3:30pm on City Hall Plaza, join us for our 4th Human Library. You will have the opportunity to unjudge someone, ask questions and talk to someone you may not have the opportunity to meet otherwise. During the event, Readers will check out human Books to read through one-on-one 30-minute conversations. You can come to read one Book or stay to read more! Final checkout is at 3pm.
