What is Human Libraries Australia

Human Libraries Australia is a national strategy for connecting and strengthening local communities through conversation. Members of the public are able to borrow a living person for a conversation rather than borrowing a book.

The project was initiated by the Lismore City Council in November 2006 and was proudly supported for three years by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship through the Diverse Australia Program.

The program is now managed by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) through its Public Libraries Advisory Committee (PLAC) and the PLAC Human Libraries Australia Sub-Committee.

The Human Libraries Australia website has more information about the history of the project.
