Can you imagine life as a transgendered person? Or how about living with memories of childhood sexual abuse, alcoholism or physical and cognitive challenges? These were just a few of the topics available in recent augustana human libraries.

The 8th edition of the augustana human library will take place in Fall 2012.

A Human Library is an initiative in which people called 'Readers' who want to learn about a specific topic 'check out' people called 'Human Books' for an hour of conversation.

The augustana human library is an initiative of Augustana's Human Rights Advisors and the Augustana Library.
