Why do you go to the library？For books，yes—but you like books because they tell stories.You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else's life.At one type of library you can do just that—even though there's not a single book.
   At a Human Library，instead of books，you can "borrow" people.People with unique life stories volunteer to be the "books." For a certain amount of time，you can ask them questions and listen to their stories，which are as fascinating as any you can find in a book.（If you attend，be sure to review the habits that make you a good listener.） Many of the stories have to do with some kind of depressing topic.You can speak with a refugee，a soldier suffering from PTSD（創(chuàng)傷后遺癥），a homeless person and a woman living with HIV.The Human Library encourages people to take time to truly get to know and learn from someone they might otherwise make a snap judgment about.According to its website，the Human Library is "a place where difficult questions are expected，appreciated and answered."
   The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen，Denmark in 2000.Romni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four—day event during a major Northern European festival.After the success of this event，Abergel founded the Human Library Organization，hoping to raise awareness among youth about depression，which has been growing ever since.
   Though there are a few permanent human libraries，most aren't places at all，but events.Though many do take place at physical libraries，you don't need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience.There have been human library events all over the globe，in universities and in pubs，from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.Check out the organization's Facebook page to see when the Human Library might be arriving near you.
