What is a “Human Library”?
The library is full of people just like you. People who have skills, knowledge, and talent they would like to share. All ages are welcome!
What’s Your Skill, Talent or Knowledge?
The Highland Park Human Library has space for all types of skills, talent and knowledge. Some examples are:
Cooking a special dish
Teaching a language
Nature walks
Painting/Drawing
Meditation
Study strategies
Bike repair
Budgeting
Gardening
Cultural knowledge
Share Your Skills, Talents or Knowledge
By hosting a workshop or presentation
Through one on one conversations with other residents
At community events
We’re Here to Help!
Members of the organizing committee are here to help you join the Highland Park Human Library and prepare to share your skill, talent or knowledge.
Neighbourhoods are rich in skills and knowledge
The greatest strength of neighbourhoods is the people who live there. When we share skills and knowledge with one another, we become stronger together!
