Human Library is an international organization and movement that arose in Copenhagen in 2000. It is aimed at eliminating prejudices against various groups and communities, helping people communicate with those with whom they do not meet in ordinary life. The peculiarity of the “living library” is that anyone can talk with its participants (“live books”).
