A 'living library' is based on the concept that the ‘books’ are people. Instead of reading, you listen to their real life stories. We provide a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where people can feel empowered and are given the opportunity to meet and speak to people about a topic that we often shy away from talking about – mental health.

The great thing about our living library is that you as readers, can have conversations with people who have real life experiences and you can ask questions along the way. Our books have inspirational stories to tell about their unique mental health journey. They are all passionate about raising awareness and increasing knowledge, in the hope to help others.

Come along to hear the raw, honest and relatable stories to better understand the life experiences of others, and to possibly challenge some of your own assumptions. Learn more about mental health and support our books who have generously given up their time to spread awareness and hope.

The living library will be held during the morning of Thursday 10 October. The library dogs will also make an appearance from 12:00pm. More details will be released closer to the date but if you have any enquiries please email r.omond@murdoch.edu.au
