If you haven’t already met her, prepare yourself to be amazed. Our “Book of the Month” from our September publication is the stunning 61 year old, Poppy Rose.  

Alongside a dedicated every day life to campaign against inequality, being a poet, actor and a model, Poppy has been a bestseller at the Human Library for about 10 years. When asked about her reasons to become a book in the first place and why she is still active, Poppy stresses that she still haven’t won the battle against social bigotry and hate.   

Ninety-nine percent of hate is fueled by the unknown. For Poppy, the most important reason to be a part of the Human Library, book or a reader, is because of its unique way of creating a deeper understanding between people: “Only by opening your life up in the way Human Library does, you can expect to educate and change people’s attitudes to something that is ingrained in us all.” 

To her, it is really true that if people continue to avoid conversation with the unknown, the hate among us will still continue: “Hate is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because the less you know, the more you do not understand, and ninety-nine percent of hate is fueled by the unknown, which in turn widens the gap between two people and narrows down the chances of dialogue.” ~ Human Library

On 23.01.2019 a Living Library Event took place in Pleven, Bulgaria in the Regional Library "Hr. Smirnenski". There were 5 living books that highschool students could "take and read" in order to advance in their responses against aggression, social exclusion, hate speech etc. The event included a theatre play as well. The play was very clear and understandable for the audience. For what is worth it, it was an amazing day full of great emotions, lots of important and educative lessons!

Living Library Event

During the coldest month of the year, on 23.01.19. from 13.30, students from two Pleven high schools - PGPCHE - Pleven and DFSG "Intellect" organize an event - Living library with the invaluable support of the Hristo Smirnenski Regional Library - Pleven with the undisputed support of the Sdruzhenie "ObzorArt".   

Every day, many students become both victims and eyewitnesses of aggressive behavior at their school. This also becomes the spark of the idea that young people are opposed to social phenomena from aggression such as social exclusion, hate speech, discrimination, and so on. "Living Library" is an initiative that offers new methods and tools in the fight against bullying in the school environment. It is like any other library with shelves, books and a reading room, but what distinguishes it from them is the fact that the books are not printed on paper but are real human beings. Each book is ready to share its incredible story of the aggression world. The "living" library will have a catalog of available books that everyone can choose by launching a journey through the edges of their book. The monologue between a reader and a book changes its dimensions and becomes a lively dialogue. The listener is encouraged to explore stories, to ask exciting questions, and to get answers where he could not find elsewhere. It gives the opportunity to experience an adventure designed to change people's attitudes towards the different, outdated, discriminated, excluded. 

"Living library" is an event that gives the chance to the victims of school aggression to be heard, to overcome all those stereotypes and prejudices, encouraging the formation of a more inclusive society to the different in each individual.
