Just like real librarians, Human Librarians take care of their books! They find and train books, and plan events so these books can share their stories with interested readers. Human Librarians also make sure all books are supported before, during, and after events. Our Librarians are artists, writers, educators, social workers, and non-profit mavens who want to help generate more empathy in the city they love. If you have any questions or want to get involved, contact them at humanlibrarynyc@humanlibrary.org.
