Paul Pepper: Lauren Williams and Rene Powell, DBRL's "Human Library Event"

Lauren Williams and Rene Powell

Daniel Boone Regional Library's 'Human Library' event kicks off with 'books' by people with a disability, like RENE POWELL [3:07]. What is a 'human library'? It's a person's story told by that person. Community services manager LAUREN WILLIAMS describes the event as "bringing people together to have a conversation in small groups with someone who has an identity that has been maybe stereotyped or pre-judged."
