About this event

BORROW A HUMAN: THE LIVING LIBRARY
Sunday 23 August | 1–5pm

Don’t judge a book by its co.ver.

For one Sunday, our café becomes a Living Library — except instead of borrowing books, you borrow people.

Four Human Books, each with a completely different story to tell, will be available to borrow for a 30-minute one-to-one co.nversation.

Browse our Human Books, read their titles and synopses, then choose who you’d like to sit down with when you arrive.

No speeches. No screens. Just two people, a cup of co.ffee and a proper co.nversation.

£10 per person
Includes entry, one 30-minute Human Book co.nversation, co.ffee and homemade cake.

Additional co.nversations may be available on the day, depending on availability.

How it works:
Reserve your place in advance and arrive any time during the event. When you arrive, our librarian will show you which Human Books are available and help you choose your book and borrowing time.

Human Books are volunteers. The ticket price covers the event, co.ffee and cake.

Limited places available.

3 HOURS FREE PARKING ON THE LIDL SIDE OF PARC TAWE - WE ARE ALSO ONLY A 5 MINUTE WALK FROM THE BUS AND TRAIN STATIONS.
