Human Libraries Australia
Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) through its Public Libraries Advisory Committee (PLAC) and the PLAC Human Libraries Australia Sub-Committee
A national strategy for connecting and strengthening local communities through conversation. Members of the public are able to borrow a living person for a conversation rather than borrowing a book. Through conversation, communities are brought closer together, attitudes changed, prejudice and fear reduced, and social inclusion is strengthened. It is a simple yet powerful strategy for building social cohesion between diverse community members who wouldn't ordinarily meet.
