Algoma University’s Arthur A Wishart Library recently was transformed into a living library through an event called Human Library: Unjudge Someone. This event was hosted as a part of the university’s commitment to truth, reconciliation, and experiential learning. It brought together students, staff, faculty, Elders, and residential school survivors for a unique experience where participants (the “readers”) sat with the volunteers (the “books”) and listened to their stories. “The Human Library connects folks with history, with identity, and with our shared humanity,” said AlgomaU Library Access Services Coordinator Megan Jones-McLeod. “This event gave us the chance to sit across from each other and simply be human.”
