The Human Library, in partnership with Mesa Community College, is hosting an event on Saturday, April 26 2025 at MCC Red Mountain. Event will be held 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, in the MCC Red Mountain Library. Check-in will begin at 8:00 am.

The Human Library® is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. Instead of books, actual people are 'on loan' for conversations. The concept is about acknowledging and challenging the prejudice we all carry towards one another. The Human Library creates a safe space for dialogue where people, acting as books, share how they have directly or indirectly experienced prejudice, bias or discrimination based on aspects of their person, heritage or life experience. At The Human Library, all questions are invited as our Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with the Readers. The event will cover such diverse experiences as surviving trauma, racism, and addiction, among others.

This event is free and open to the public and campus community. Readers will be required to pre-register as space is limited. (See the registration link below.) Each Reader will select three Book sessions when they check-in. Each session will last 50 minutes with a 10-minute break in between sessions. Participants are encouraged to arrive at least 20 minutes before the event begins for check-in and to select the Books they are interested in checking out.

Space will be limited. To register, please visit the following link: https://tinyurl.com/ycwyj8a3
