From stories about resilience in the face of adversity to reflections on mental health, homelessness, and navigating familial expectations, Rugby Library’s Human Books event will cover a wide range of topics.
Each Human Book will offer a different glimpse into the human experience, reflecting on the triumphs, struggles, and experiences of human life in ways that foster empathy and encourage us to connect and understand each other better within our own communities.
The event is open to readers aged 18 and above, with some stories expected to cover challenging experiences. Attendees will be encouraged to browse through the available Human Book titles and blurbs carefully before selecting their preferred book.
