I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Ruth Mitchell, a librarian in Eureka, California, who discovered an exciting program she couldn't wait to adapt and share with her students. She modeled her program on The Human Library (humanlibrary.org), an international initiative that takes a creative approach to teaching students inclusion and empathy by bringing in guest speakers from ranging backgrounds, and framing them as human "books" with unique human stories for students to explore. Enjoy this conversation, which includes tips on how to bring human stories into your own library.
