In celebration of Culture Days, SPL will be hosting a special Human Library event. In the Human Library, the books you sign out are real people, willing to share their unique perspectives, cultural histories and experiences. Chat, learn, and challenge your assumptions as you connect with people in your community in a new and unique way! Borrow a real live person on Saturday September 28, 10AM - 12:30PM. Human “books” will be available for a loan of up to 30 minutes, at the The Stratford Festival Theatre Lobby (Map).
Reserve a "book" at the door or call the Library Information Desk at 519-271-0220.
For more events don't forget to visit the Culture Days Website.
