Exchange Human Library
We’re hosting a “Human Library” session at Exchange on the morning of May 13! It’s a fun way to meet new people, learn, and hear stories from those you might not meet otherwise.
Participants can sign up to “borrow Human Books” – which means spending 10-15 minutes hearing from a person and having a conversation about a story or topic that they put forward.
