We All Have a Story. Are you willing to share yours? We are looking for volunteers to be human books for a Culture Days Human Library! Each book will choose a title that relates to their story or knowledge, and then readers can sign up for a 15 minute conversation with a human book to discuss their topic. Topics could range from hobbies to travel to life experiences. Human books need to be able and willing to talk about their chosen topic in an engaging and respectful way. There is a time commitment of 3 hours on September 30 from 1-4 pm as well as a short meeting with Library staff before the event. If you are interested in volunteering as a human book, please contact Dominique @ 780-865-6050 or domiunge@hintonlibrary.org.
