Some of you will be familiar with the format as Solent University has previously hosted an event. In a nutshell, as with any other library, it aims to connect readers with books; the only difference is that \u2018books\u2019 are real people, and \u2018reading\u2019 is as conversation. A reader select from a list of available titles and then engages in an honest conversation, and previous titles include \u2018Unemployed\u2019, \u2018Homeless\u2019, \u2018Transgender Woman\u2019, \u2018Refugee\u2019, \u2018Bisexual Christian\u2019, and more.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the history of the format and previous books can be found on the University of Winchester\u2019s blog post here: <a href=\"http:\/\/uniwinlibrary.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/17\/8-human-books-26-readers-11-hours-of-life-changing-conversations\/\">http:\/\/uniwinlibrary.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/17\/8-human-books-26-readers-11-hours-of-life-changing-conversations\/<\/a>. Last year the feedback from \u2018Human Books\u2019 was amazing, they all thoroughly enjoyed it and most of them will be participating again this year.
