The Living Library Sold Out In Santa Monica.
The Living Library in Santa Monica on Saturday, sold out in thirty minutes. All the Living Books representing different stereotypes and prejudices in the community, were booked and on loan to other people (readers) that were seeking to challenge their stereotypes. Response to the event was overwhelming and the Santa Monica Public Library did a fantastic job in hosting and organising the event.
More to come for Santa Monica.
The SMPL said after the event, that they had nothing but positive response from readers and books alike, and that the library will continue to work with the concept. All the Living Books on loan were volunteers that had taken the time out their weekend to meet readers and they all had to work very hard in Los Angeles.
This coming Saturday readers from the Seattle area can join an event at Bainbridge Islands Public Library. More information on the Seattle launch can be found HERE.
