Human Library Event, Chilliwack, Wednesday, March 15

For the first time, UFV library is participating in the Human Library Initiative. UFV Library’s event will be held in the atrium of the Canada Education Park campus, just outside the Chilliwack library, on Wednesday, March 15, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

A human library seeks to promote understanding and bust stereotypes. Typical human library “books” might focus on topics like racism, non-traditional roles, mental illness, single parenthood, LGBTQ experiences or religion.
To read more about our books, not all of whom may be available for the human library event, check our website: http://www.ufv.ca/library/exhibits--events/human-library-display-and-event/.
