Borrow a person

Ask questions you've always wanted to ask.

Learn more about the diversity within our city.

The Living Library works exactly like your local Calgary Public Library - readers can borrow a "book".  The difference is, books in the Living Library are human beings: "living books", with whom the reader can have a conversation.

This unique program enables readers to ask the questions they have always wanted to ask; while books are given the opportunity to share stories about their personal experiences in a safe and welcoming environment.  This enables individuals to actively contribute to building inclusive communities of understanding.
