Human Library at the Farmers Market 9am to 12pm @ Minnetrista Farmers Market On the green 1200 N. Minnetrista Parkway
At a Human Library you check out one of our Human Books who have lived experience with some marginalization in society. Maybe you have never talked with someone who is the Child of a Pedophile or a neurodiverse or the Survivor of a Cult and you have questions about that. This is your chance to ask! Always free and always impactful. Put 20 minutes into your schedule at the market and check out one of our Books for a conversation!
