What is a Living Library?
A living library provides an environment for conversation and relationship building between a small group of people. Our guest social innovators and entrepreneurs are the “books” and students are the readers. Students join a guest for 15 minutes to hear their stories about working in the field of social innovation and social entrepreneurship, then move onto the next “book.” It's a chance to learn more about how to be changemakers in your studies and careers.
