Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.

If you browse through a library,
you'll find a variety of different books from fiction to crime to romance.
And if you walk through a city, you'll see a variety of people of different ages,
body shapes, skin colours and genders.
In this Six Minute English,
we'll be hearing about an unusual library,
where the books are people made of flesh and bone instead of paper.
It's called the human library,
and the books are individuals who have faced prejudice,
which means an unreasonable dislike of certain types of people.
Read as may borrow these books,
who are people from all walks of life for a 30-minute conversation.
The book titles are short and to the point.
Titles like transgender, former criminal, or immigrant.
The human books are volunteers,
