What is a real library? How is it different from ordinary libraries? What are its significance and advantages?

1. The Human Library, a real-life library, actually originated from the Stop Violence Organization founded by five young people in Copenhagen, Denmark. In July, 2000, at the invitation of the Roskidd Music Festival in Denmark, the organization held an activity called "Real Library" and lent 75 real books to interact with the audience. Its purpose is to resist violence, encourage dialogue, eliminate prejudice and establish friendship between audiences.

The advantage of a real-life library different from books is that it provides real-life books with rich life experience, which you usually can't get elsewhere. According to the data, there are fans, female firefighters, funeral managers, feminists, therapists, vagrants, AIDS patients, police, vegetarians, homosexuals, politicians, strippers, journalists, immigrants, disabled people and other candidates from all walks of life abroad. They are all volunteers. Of course, it is difficult to recruit a good real-life book. First of all, they are borrowed for free. Secondly, everyone should be able to share their life experiences and hidden active resources with others.

Librarians in real life

In addition, it is necessary to establish a good communication and understanding relationship between books and readers in real life, and often discuss different lifestyles, living environments or beliefs face to face. These topics are new to readers before. To some extent, the mission of the library in real life is not only to let readers get some curious knowledge, but more importantly, to eliminate discrimination between different groups and enhance people's sense of security, which is also the most direct feeling that we can't get when reading paper books.

"Real life library" often causes people to sing in their hearts. Once a 40-year-old father came to the library with his 7-year-old son and borrowed a violent book. As a sharer, he mentioned the problem of drunken violence, and talked about that many alcoholics can't control themselves once they drink alcohol, and finally extended various domestic violence.

The "real library" has a history of 10 years. Its founder Eberger has traveled all over the world to "type books". Besides Denmark, it has been held in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Cyprus, Australia, Japan, Romania, the United States, Hong Kong and other places.
