As reported by Jeanne Storck in the January 2009 Whole Life Times, people ARE books, in The Living Library, an organization that fights prejudice by hosting discussions in local libraries (click on the title here to link which is under construction). "Readers check out "books" (people) by sitting down and talking to those whose lifestyles are subject to preconceptions, "everyone from Buddhists to homeless people to police officers."
The living library was founded by Ronni Abergel, a Danish anti violence activist, and has staged events around the world. LIBRARIES are considered to be neutral spaces, where such discussions can take place on purpose.
