The Human Library Comes to Petoskey

By Jamie Kauffold | July 27, 2024

Have a conversation with a human book! The Petoskey District Library is the first in northern Michigan to partner with the Human Library© organization in Denmark and will host events where readers can have conversations with human beings serving as open books. People who have faced some sort of stigma volunteer to be a “book” for the day and help others learn about their experience. The first event will take place at the Carnegie Building in Petoskey on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 11am-3pm. Stop by and check out a “book” for a 30-minute conversation! petoskeylibrary.org
