A human library challenges people’s understanding of stereotypes and educates them about diversity.

Human Library at UFV

UFV Human Library 2016

Have you ever wondered if you were a book what your title would be?

Our mission in collecting “books” for our human library was to present unique experiences that challenge people's understanding of stereotypes and educate people on diversity.

UFV Library's Human Library event was held on March 15, 2017 on the Canada Education Park campus.

Thanks to Darren McDonald from University Relations for the photographs of Darren Blakeborough, Elaine Malloway, Shirley Hardman, Tim McAlpine and Sister Jessie, and thanks to Alex Duff and his students from Visual Arts for framing some of our photos.

The University of the Fraser Valley is situated on the traditional territory of the Stó:lō peoples. The Stó:lō have an intrinsic relationship with what they refer to as S’olh Temexw (Our Sacred Land), therefore we express our gratitude and respect for the honour of living and working in this territory.
