Hobart Human Library

Step into the fascinating world of human stories with the Hobart Human Library, where individuals become “books”, sharing their personal experiences and perspectives.

Our library is a vibrant space where diversity thrives, offering “readers” the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and challenge stereotypes.

Each “book” represents a unique narrative, covering topics ranging from overcoming adversity to celebrating cultural heritage. Join us in breaking down barriers, fostering empathy, and building connections through the power of storytelling at the Hobart Human Library.
