Challenge yourself to a different read!
The Shire Community Living Library is on again!
Join in the sense of community a Living Book Experience promotes, on Thursday 19 November, from 10am - 12pm.
The Living Library works like any other library, you borrow, read and return books. The difference is that in this case, the 'Books' are people and so it is an interactive experience.
Here's your chance to gain some insight into what it would be like to be the individual behind the 'Title'.
You can come and 'Borrow' a 'Book' for a 30 minute conversation, in a safe and friendly environment. You are encouraged to ask questions to increase your understanding.
Our 'Books' are volunteers from the local community, and so are people you might walk past every day. They are from a range of backgrounds and a wide variety of life experiences are covered.
Here are a few comments from previous readers;
"I think it is an excellent mind opening experience"
"Everyone is so nice & friendly and open to sharing experiences"
"in the intimacy we forgot ourselves"
The best part was "talking with people from different backgrounds of life"
