Reserve your Brisbane Human Library ticket now.

Borrow a Human Book and have a conversation. See life from a different perspective.

Ever wondered what it is like to walk in someone else’s shoes?

Are you open to challenging preconceptions, gaining greater understanding, and getting to know someone from the wider community?    

Then the ACU Human Library is for you.

What is it?

At the ACU Human Library event, our books are people. Our Human Books are volunteers from all walks of life. They often represent societal groups that are misunderstood or subjected to prejudice, discrimination, exclusion, or stigma.

As a participant, you 'borrow' a Human Book for up to 20 minutes. You have an open and judgement free conversation and ask questions about the book's topic. Then you return your book and may borrow another. Through positive dialogue, a Human Library encourages new ideas and ways of thinking in a non-judgemental environment.

This year, Brisbane’s book topics include:

• Autistic & Nonbinary
• Domestic Violence
• Eating Disorder
• Intergenerational Trauma
• Military Veteran
• Neurodivergent
• Refugee
• Totally Blind
• Ukrainian Refugee
