Step into the Living Library

Living Libraries bring people together to share experiences, challenge stereotypes and raise awareness of our lived experiences.  It provides a safe space for conversations to support colleagues, share best practice and use the power of personal conversation to positively challenge prejudice or discrimination.

In Knowledge and Library Services Living Library, each ‘book’ is a person with a unique story to tell. Whether you’re curious about different cultures, seeking inspiration, or hungry for new perspectives, there’s a living book waiting to captivate you. 

Step into conversation with our living books, ask questions, share your own experiences, and discover the connections that bridge our differences. 

To find out more and immerse yourself in the pages of our Living Library, take a look and reserve yourself a ‘book’ or find out more about becoming a book yourself and share you own experiences.
