Thread Name: Living Library at Sidmouth
Subject: Living Library at Sidmouth
Living Library: don't borrow a book, borrow a person! Who would you find it really hard to have a conversation with? A racist? A socialist? Someone with a disability? A transgendered person? A hunt sabateur? A Tory councillor? A New Labour MP? Someone with mental health issues? A refugee?

Challenge your stereotypes. Take a 30 minute loan of a human "book" and find out what makes them tick. Living Libraries is a world-wide network, which promotes understanding and breaks down barriers between people. We'll be hosting one at Sidmouth Folk Week, as a Folk Against Fascism event.

WE NEED BOOKS! Would you like to be a book for a Living Library session? PM me. We will also need librarians on the day, so get in touch if you're interested in taking part.
