Change the way you consume and not what you consume !

That's what Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers, co-author of the book "What's Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption" are telling us.

Those two words kind of describe what has developed over the past years concerning lending, trading, sharing, renting and swapping, in domains such as: transportation (cars, bikes), apparel (clothing, accessories), food, living spaces, household appliances, money (social lending, virtual currencies, time banks) workspaces, travel, accommodation, space (storage, parking, spare rooms).

Borrow someone at the Human Library...

Imagine borrowing a person from your local library in the same way you would borrow a book.

That's what the Human Libraries propose !

The Human Library is designed to fight against stereotypes and prejudices.

How ? Instead of borrowing books, you "borrow" someone for 30 minutes who tells you about his life, a story he wants to share. All kinds of "human books" are available from the junkie to the drag queen, the noun to the ex-prisonner

Since the launch of the concept in Denmark, it has developed in all the continents with hundreds of events per year.

You can even find permanent Human Libraries in more than 30 cities.

Who wants to borrow me ?
