Living Books Event in Liverpool Central Library Tomorrow
Liverpool Libraries are hosting an event with the union Unison in Hornby Library in Central Library tomorrow, Thursday 21st Jan, from 1 - 5pm.
This is part of an international movement to increase understanding. Unison have trained a number of their members to be able to tell an interesting story based on their lives so they become a ‘living book’. On the day people will have a chance to borrow them so they can listen to their story for about 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion at the end.
This is a great way to chat to interesting people that you wouldn't normally meet and promises to be a great way to spend an afternoon. Andy Johnson, Lifelong Learning Services Manager for Liverpool Libraries tells us of his experience:
I went to one in Blackpool and met a woman who is a refugee from Lebanon, heard her story as to why she cane to this country plus fascinating information about her culture plus heard the story of a young man who is involved in Burmese politics. I learned so much that would have been difficult to do in another way.
You can just turn up at the Hornby Library in Central Library on Thursday afternoon - everyone is welcome. If you would like to find out further details, please contact Helen M Titherington at Unison on 0161 661 6731 or email h.titherington@unison.co.uk.
