The Human Library

Next date: Sunday, February 22, 2026 | 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM

Two Human Library participants sitting next to one another

Typical libraries offer print books and digital eBooks for check out, but The Human Library® allows participants – or Readers – to borrow a human Book and engage in conversations about their unique stories, particularly their experiences in Fort Collins regarding their identity/identities. The Human Library program creates a safe and non-judgmental environment for curious and often taboo conversations that will challenge prejudices and promote understanding of differences. The program encourages all participants to “unjudge” a human Book by its cover. 

During this three-hour program, you, as a Reader, will have the opportunity to check out four human Books – community volunteers who have been subjected to prejudice, stigma, or discrimination because of their lifestyle, diagnosis, belief, social status, ethnic origin, or disability. The hope is that everyone, Readers and Books, gain new understandings that advance acceptance and inclusion among diverse groups.
 
Please join us for the Human Library – a safe and non-judgmental forum for people to engage in difficult conversations and gain a deeper understanding of diverse human experiences. Note: Under 18 Readers need to be accompanied by an adult.

While participation is free, we ask that you preregister prior to arrival.
