As part of our DiverseCity Programme, Belfast City Council is hosting a Living Library Event.

Date: Monday 17 September 2018 

Time: 10am - 2pm

Venue: Details of the city centre venue will be provided following registration.

What is the Living Library?

The Living Library is similar to a normal library, except the books are people and you can borrow a book for a 20 minute conversation. All of the living books are from a wide range of backgrounds with different life experiences. 

The Living Library is a fun event which allows you to have a conversation with someone you might never have had the opportunity to speak to.

The idea is that you pick a book or person and borrow them for a one to one conversation.

We have 13 Living Books available to borrow.
