On Sunday, April 19, we are hosting the Human Library at the lowa City Public Library from 1 pm to 5 pm. You can drop by anytime during this time period to borrow an open "Book" for a conversation about their life. The concept is simple: you show up at the library, choose a person you would like to talk to, and sit at their table to have a conversation where any kind of question about their life/background is welcome. You will be able to talk to as many of our "Books" as you want. It is an informal, casual event, and refreshments will be provided. We look forward to seeing you and hope that we'll have an interesting afternoon!
