The Human Library
The Human Library, or “Menneskebiblioteket” as it is called in Danish, is a global organization founded in 2000 in Denmark by Ronni Abergel and his brother Dany and colleagues Asma Mouna and Christoffer Erichsen. The organization provides safe spaces for conversations to challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue.
The Human Library organization operates on six continents and is involved in activities in more than 80 countries.
Human Library Café Initiative
In 2025, Scan Design Foundation is partnering with the Human Organization in North America to support general activities and programs of local book depots in the US. The focus is on independently delivered activities in the communities where human library book depots are based. SDF's support will be used to enable the book depots to remain active and host pop-up Human Library Book Café events in neutral spaces.
From September to November 2025, host book café sessions will take place in:
- California
- Indiana
- Illinois
- New York
