What is a Newcomer Human Library?
The Newcomer Human Library is unique to LSP Day and will be a great event that should not be missed.
The Newcomer Human Library will include human books that are either recent immigrants or established immigrants in Canada. These individuals are here to share their experiences in Canada with you.
You will be able to sign out a human book and have a one-on-one conversation with this individual in a quiet space inside the library. Human books are multilingual so you will also have the option of selecting a language other than English.
Meet a person with a unique story to tell and discover what it's like to walk in their shoes.
Library branches hosting a Newcomer Human Library are:
Yorkwoods, Parkdale, Thorncliffe, and Centennial Branch.
