What is a Living Library?
The Syracuse University Living Library is an event that encourages people from different backgrounds to talk with and learn from each other in a safe and supportive environment. During the event, attendees can engage in 20-minute one-on-one or small group conversations with volunteers from across the SU community—including faculty, staff, and students. These volunteers, representing a wide range of cultural backgrounds and life experiences, will share their stories on a range of topics. The event intends to create a positive space for dialogues on challenging topics, to break down stereotypes, and to celebrate diversity within the SU community.
This event is part of the CNY Living Library, with support from the Central NY Library Resources Council (CLRC).
This event is based on Syracuse University Libraries' former Human Library events.
