Living Library at Houston Central Library, Texas, USA

"The Houston Public Library invites Houstonians to the first-ever Living Library event in Houston, Texas, the third event in the state. As part of the event, 'Living Books' (people who have chosen to be a public representative of a certain part of the community) will be available for check-out by 'Readers' (library customers) for 30-minute conversations on various topics. The premise is that these personal conversations can foster mutual understanding and the goal is to connect strangers who might not normally have an opportunity to hear each other's points of view. The Living Library event will be held on Saturday, June 6 from 10 am to 1 pm at the Houston Public Library Central Library"
