Books and the stories they tell come alive – literally – during the Living Library Project event on March 7, 2012, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm in the Great Hall. Visit http://www.harthouse.ca/student-engagement/livinglibrary now to reserve your 30-minute session with one or more of our incredible books. Meet former Toronto mayor Barbara Hall, dive deeper into diversity issues, explore preconceived notions around race, gender, class, religion and sexuality, and learn more about yourself and others through this informal “Reader-Book” dialogue. Successfully staged in over 27 countries, this is the first time Hart House will be running this popular program. Space is limited so don’t delay! FREE

THE LIVING LIBRARY PROJECT is an event designed to create dialogue, promote understanding and reduce prejudice. A collection of "human books" (widely varied in gender, age, and cultural and religious backgrounds) are offered on "loan" to visitors. Facilitated by Living Library Librarians, visitors "borrow" the human book for up to 30 minutes for an open conversation. We hope to promote tolerance and deepen the understanding of social justice, equity and diversity.
HART HOUSE is a living laboratory of social, artistic, cultural and recreational experiences where all voices, rhythms and traditions converge. As the vibrant home for the education of the mind, body and spirit envisioned by its founders, Hart House encourages and supports activities that provide spaces for awakening the capacity for self-knowledge and self-expression.
