National Human Library Day is a one day event hosted by local libraries and media and cultural centres across the country, in an effort to help dispel myths and stereotypes by creating an opportunity to have a conversation with someone you may not have met otherwise.

Members of the public will have a chance to "check out" a "book" and ask questions to learn about the person and their extraordinary life.

This event will take place on Saturday January 26 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Check out the link below to see which "books" are available at participating branches.
