Description

The Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library is partnering with the Human Library organization, the Hendricks County Alliance for Diversity, Hendricks County Pride, and the Hendricks County Community Foundation to host the Human Library event on Saturday, April 8 from 1-3p. Participants can drop in for a twenty minute conversation with one of our human “books”, who will share their story as a person with a disability, as a minority, or another unique life experience.

In the 2022 Community Needs Assessment from the Hendricks County Community Foundation, 23.2% of residents noted that diversity, equity, and inclusion are areas of concern. PGTPL is helping to address this concern by facilitating deeper conversations in our community that may have never happened otherwise through the Human Library event. This event is made possible through generous funding from the Hendricks County Community Foundation’s Community Unity Grant.

“We are very excited to bring this unique event to Hendricks County,” says Montie Manning, Director of the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library. “We hope these conversations open up dialogues to different perspectives and bring our community closer together.”
