Imagine a library where the “books” are people you know and see every day. That’s the idea behind The Living Library Project, sponsored by the Myatt Center, JEDI student ambassadors, and the Peterson Library.

The Living Library Project invites you to connect through personal narratives and creative expressions that highlight diverse experiences and identities in a variety of formats, including written reflections, audio, video, or visual art. This initiative creates a space to listen, learn, reflect, and offers opportunities to challenge stereotypes, reduce prejudice, and build mutual understanding.
