The Living Library "We do not live in a homogeneous country, as many think. People here have different views, skin colors, sexual orientations, different ethnicity, religion (or lack of it). It is the diverse people who will be "books". You will be able to borrow them and talk to them in the reading room. The Living Library allows you to leave the world of your own ideas about particular groups. From the division into "us" and "them". It will allow to understand other people and look at the world through their eyes".
