Living Library Seminar - how to borrow real life experience
Why not get direct access to someone else’s experience, along with the more usual books, DVDs ……!
Borrow someone who is an expert in their field, has significant experience to share, or is passionate about a hobby. ‘Loans’ take the form of a conversation, and can last for half an hour, a morning or an afternoon. The Living Library has been developed in a number of countries and this seminar (24/10/07) shared experiences from Australia and Belgium, which clearly illustrated the contribution that library, museum and archive services can make to community cohesion.
