The Human Library

While some libraries are ditching their books in favour of the laptops, e-readers, and mp3 players, there is one library that believes stories are much better shared when they come from the source.  At the Human Library, you actually borrow people.

The concept is simple - instead of checking out a book, you "borrow" a person who has stories to tell gathered from a unique life experience.  For half an hour, you can sit down with someone like a prostitute, a politician, or a funeral director, all of whom have incredible stories to share.. .and unlike a book, they're able to answer your questions and tailor the storytelling experience to you.
