Living Library
Saturday, September 11th &

Saturday, November 20th
11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Poirier Branch

Coquitlam Public Library, in partnership with Douglas College, has been hosting Living Library events in which living ‘books’ are made available to patrons for one-on-one conversations. Some ‘books’ are subject experts who are prepared to share their knowledge of fascinating topics; others are people who may be misunderstood or underestimated based on the occupational, racial, religious or lifestyle labels we place upon them.  Meant to battle prejudice, the Living Library program encourages people to probe beneath the surface and learn about living, breathing people, rather than dwelling on stereotypes pushed by the media or by one's personal bias.
