Inform USA Webinar - Introduction to Uncomfortable Conversations

The Inform USA Equity and Access Committee proposes a webinar on people libraries and uncomfortable conversations. People libraries, also known as Human Libraries, are safe spaces to meet people (“books”) and have conversations that can help challenge prejudice, help rid discrimination, prevent conflicts, and contribute to greater human cohesion across social, religious, and ethnic divisions, among others. In other words, people libraries help participants learn about others and challenge the participants’ biases.

The goal of this webinar is to inform members about people libraries and provide an example of an uncomfortable conversation about equity, access, diversity, and inclusion.
