The Human Library

Event Description

The Human Library at Stony Brook University is an in-person event designed to challenge stereotypes and prejudice through open dialogue with real people. We will have a number of Open Books available for attendees to “check out” for 30 minute conversations. Each book is a person with a story to tell based on their diverse backgrounds.

Sponsored by University Libraries and its DEIA Team in partnership with the Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Intercultural Initiative (DI3), Student Health, Wellness and Prevention Services, the Office of Military and Veteran Student Services, College of Arts & Sciences Office of the Dean, and the Office of Diversity, Intercultural and Community Engagement (DICE).

Registration not required but encouraged. Drop-ins welcome. You can register for the event on SB Engaged: https://cglink.me/25T/r389670
