Living Library
April 10th from 6 pm-8 pm on the 4th Floor of Cooper Library
The Pride Living Library is an event being put on by the Pride Committee, the Accessibility Commission, and Cooper Library. The event is Clemson’s adaption of the Human Library, a Danish event where people could “check out” other people, like checking out a book from a library, to listen to the story of their lives. The overall purpose of the original event—and Clemson’s adaptation—is to challenge stereotypes, to help bring a more nuanced understanding to different social identity groups, and to allow space for people from a variety of backgrounds to share their stories.
