Take part in this unique and interactive experience that will inspire and encourage you.<br />
<br /><b>What is a ‘Living Library’? </b><br />
A living library is based on the concept that the ‘books’ are people and instead of reading, you listen to their real life stories. We provide a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where people can feel <br />empowered and are given the opportunity to meet and speak to people about a topic that we often <br />shy away from talking about – mental health.<br />
