One of my board members just forwarded me an interesting concept
that has my brain whirling. I was
wondering if any of you have been involved in anything like it.
It is a human library filled with human books. Human books are volunteers who are cognitive
authorities in given areas. So for
example, you may have a musician, a holocaust survivor, and a physicist. These people are available to be “checked out”
and have meetings with people who want to pick their brains for information.
I think this is so cool!
I have no idea how I could implement something like this, but I feel
like it could have a huge impact on education if done correctly. Some ideas that have already sprung to mind
include having a human library full of professional development contacts for
teachers. Or a human library of artists
for our fine arts students. Thoughts?
