Beaufort Human Library

Beaufort Human Library An opportunity to challenge stereotypes and foster greater empathy. Don't judge a book by its cover.

The next edition of the Beaufort Human Library will be held as a free public event on Sunday, April 7, at the Technical College of the Lowcountry's MacLean Hall (bldg 12) in partnership with the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center, DAYLO: Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization, and community organizers and volunteers. The event's “Books” will be Beaufort community members from diverse ba

ckgrounds and experiences available to be “checked out” for conversations with “Readers” to foster empathy and invite greater understanding of the many human stories to be found and shared in our communities.
