The East Baton Rouge Parish Library is holding a Human Library event in April as part of the Arts Council’s Ebb and Flow Festival, and again in May at the Main Library on Goodwood. The Human Library is a program in which readers can check out Living Books – people who share the story of their lives, in a fascinating and thought-provoking one-on-one conversation. Everyone has a story; what is yours?
We are now accepting applications for Living Books. If you are part of a group which is frequently misunderstood or marginalized, or if you feel qualified to represent any of the following life experiences, you may be an excellent candidate!
- Minority ethnicity
- Life with a physical or mental disability
- Non-traditional family structure
- Military or police service
- Religious background or beliefs
- LGBTQIA
- Community activist
Please fill out the online application for an opportunity to make your voice heard. We will respond to all applicants by email.
